Bonjour,
I recently did an exercise where I learnt about when colour adjectives stay the same in French, e.g. "When the colour is described by a phrase containing two or more words". The phrase was "la veste bleu canard".
Here though the word "blanches" does agree with "pages" and "alternées", which I thought were the words "blanches" is describing.
I would just like to know the reason for the agreement in that phrase.
Merci :)
This phrasing is not how a native English speaker would say this. I think “ Nantes was France’s best city for cycling” would be clearer. As is, it sounds like the city rides bikes.
Hi!
I don't want the tips that appear in the fill-out-the-blanks exerceises. Can I choose to turn them off?
Thanks for any help! :)
Bonjour, pourquoi dans la phrase “Allain s’attend à être licencié”, c’est qu’on manque le “ce que” ?
Is there a difference in usage between these three translations for "it took me an hour to do something":
"Il m'a fallu une heure pour faire qch"
"J'ai mis une heure pour faire qch"
"Ça m'a pris une heure pour faire qch"
Thank you in advance
Write sentences of se laver in futur simple
In answer to this question...
"Marie vient demain" Now turn this sentence into a question, using "n'est-ce pas"
Why is this wrong? I admit it seems clunky (overly formal?).... I answered "N'est-ce pas que Marie vient demain?
For this lesson example, there is no preposition here (transitive), yet être is still used as the auxiliary? Doesn't this contradict the rule?
Is there a quiz dedicated to this issue? I see the explanations but not how to quiz myself on it.
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?
