I find myself wanting to ask this based on the same question as Joseph K below - where you're given "Anne is having fun at the circus" and "Anne is amusing herself at the circus." as potential multiple choice answers, with only the former being marked correct.
If "Anne s'amuse au cirque" can't mean "Anne is amusing herself at the circus", how would you say that?
I don't understand this sentence at all. Perhaps de rever, but first person singular? The rest of the exercise is in the past, it has already happened.
Hi, what triggers the use of the subjunctive “corresponde” in “Avant ce jour béni où tu es entrée dans ma vie, je n'avais jamais imaginé rencontrer quelqu'un qui me corresponde autant que tu me corresponds.”?
So the question was:
How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?
1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.
2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.
3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.
4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.
So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1, but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2.
What gives?
Is the phrasing « but here it doesn’t mean no / any’ » not confusing in the last portion of the lesson, since the entry in this latter part addresses un/une where they earlier indicate de etc being the indicator of no / any…. The « but » should be removed, no?
Il faut que j'aille chercher mes parents
vs. je dois chercher mes parents
vs. il faut que je cherche mes parents
Pourquoi les autres deux réponses ne sont pas correctes?
I’m sorry if this is a technical question, but I can’t see where else to ask it! The writing exercises are taxing but very rich in information, especially in the multiple alternative answers. It’s quite frustrating that if you don’t note these down at the time (or scroll back through the exercise right away) there isn’t a way of retrieving them without repeating the whole exercise. Maybe that is intended? The links to the grammar points are well covered but do not actually include the quite wide range of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, ie the different ways of translating the same thing.
En avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil
Til April's dead, don't remove a thread (of your clothing)
This lesson gets confusing because of the incorrect English usage of whom. The lesson actually states 'Whom does someone meet?" That is incorrect. it is "who does someone meet?" or " you went to meet whom?"
Just google who vs whom. plenty of explanations there
if it start with y is it will be mon or ma
