In the exercise, how is "ils" a verb?
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?
Bon jour.
If indirect speech is in the present tense, is it necessary to replace ce/cette/etc with something?
E.g.
Sophie demande à Oliver: “Explique-moi cette règle !”
Elle lui demande de lui expliquer cette règle-là.
Because in the indirect speech we don't know what is "cette" règle.
In the first sentence. Can you use 'autant que possible' in this instance?
Wish could explain more how en dans du etc in the example is right for you.. some are obvious.. what if you do not know what is a region city province etc etc.. do not specifically show in beginner questions why exactly your example follows the rule. it is rudimentary boring for you.. else its back to having to memorize what is correct what is not. especially in the beginner examples. so frustrating.
Hi, if I was to say ‘I have been learning French since I was in school’, would I say: ‘J’apprends français depuis j’étais à l’école’ or ‘j’apprends français depuis je suis à l’école’? I am no longer in school so I’m thinking it may be the former however I’m not sure if the whole sentence needs to be in the present tense. Thanks
In the sentence 'when France won the World Cup ' I used remporté instead of 'gagné' but it remporté wasn't given as an option. Is there a subtle difference in their respective meanings?
I dont understand Ca t'a plu and how this is formed?
The clues do not match the text.
