the lesson says "Adjectives modified by adverbs with 2 or more syllables"
And the lesson made an example:
"Compare these examples with the following counter-example containing a one-syllable adverb:
un très joli manteau
a very pretty coat"
Based on the information the lesson provided, I assumed "une histoire très intéressante" wouldn't be right.
I saw other questions on this, but none really explained the rule.
Is it because besides having one-syllable adverb, the adjective also have to be one of those that are put before the verb?
I thought it is depuis...je suis (not past).
Or is it a difference between:
Since then, I have been following her career
Vs
I have since been following her career.
In another French course, some years ago, I was given the sentence :
"Ça fait trois ans que je l'ai, et je n'ai pour ainsi dire pas eu d'ennui avec."
This appears to end with a preposition. Is it wrong?
We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats!
Why is it "du" and not "des"?
Why is it 'cote d'Azure' but 'cote atlantique'?
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?
Johnny
If ‘le répondeur’ is linked to the landline, it would be known as an answering machine (in the UK)
In the sentence 'I'll call you before leaving' (future) in the quizzes, it seems to be translated in the present tense..' Je t'appelle avant de partir'. Is this a colloquialism ?
Thanks
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.”?
Why isn't it
