How to translate la femme? eg the answer given was this girl? How to know whether it's this or that or the?
My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière. Should it not be accepted ?
This sentence was considered correct:
Tu es apparue comme un ange.
But that doesn't that assume we know that the subject is female? If we don't know, why isn't it Tu es apparu comme un ange.
What possessive adjective goes with the sentence Sa, Son or Ses _______fille Adele
In the one question they use 'en': "Il s'en souvient. = He remembers it." I don't see anything in this lesson explaining when we would use en with this verb?
"Allez-vous au cinéma ce soir" means:
Go to the cinema tonight!
Are you going to the cinema tonight?
To go with you to the cinema
These exercises are so helpful. Could please explain the usage of "en" in the phrase "Si j'en avais les moyens?" Why is not simply "Si j'avais les moyens?"
Especially those with "que" followed by noun.
I can still wrap my mind around and understand "Qu'est-ce que c'est?", but "Qu'est-ce que c'est que un stylo", how are they connected with "que"?
Forgive me if I wrote some sentence wrong, it's really kind of weird for me to remember 😂
How do you know whether to use "depuis" or "il y a" to express a period of time. These lessons have had "J'habite à Paris depuis cinq ans" and also "J'ai mangé il y a un heure"
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?
