I'm a little bit stumped as to why the text insists on use of the pluperfect instead of le passé composé?
E.g. mes sœurs et moi avions hurlé and nous étions allés à l'église locale.
Why is it not nous avons hurlé and nous sommes allés?
Merci en avance pour la réponse!
I thought that, “ Nous sommes en train de le finir.” is incorrect since de le becomes du…
Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
Entres - y
Is the negative n'y entre pas or n'y entres pas .... Does the s drop or not ?
Can't find a unifying rule for both these. Shouldn't it. Either:
Jolie sac & bleu robe
Or:
Sac Jolie & robe bleue
Personally I think the vocabulary:- sauter is harder than se jeter, and I would add it to the list/ swap them.. this is a good test for listening for the imparfait.. thanks
I don't understand the construction of " j'avais des démangeaisons ". What is the role of "des"? It looks like a preposition between an auxiliary verb and a main verb. Or is "démangeaisons " a noun? It certainly looks like a verb. Thanks for any help.
Pour la phrase, "pendant que les adultes admireront..." j'ai dit, "tandiq que des adultes admireront..." Une correction j'ai recu etait "tandis que d'adultes admireront..." Vous pouvez expliquer pourquoi on dit d'adultes et pas des adultes?
Merci
Would someone please explain to me why you would write "Je me brosse les dents deux fois par jour." in stead of "Je me brosse mes dents ..." I'm uncertain why you couldn't use mes even though you're also using the reflexive verb. Merci!
