Why is, ”ou s'il s'arrête brusquement” in third person singular instead of third person plural?
Merci
In some context, obviously, both are correct.
However, the main difference of usage is the position in the sentence:
- neuf is placed AFTER the noun- nouveau is placed BEFORE the noun
Do you use c'est if a partitive article follows as well?
In a search to demystify the difference between savoir and connaître, I stumbled upon an article earlier that suggested something along the lines of "use connaître when you've had prior experience with something" with one of the examples being "vous connaissez [name of place]?" meaning have you been to [name of place]? instead of asking whether the person is aware of the existence of said place. The second example was "Je connais Brad Pitt"; a statement that implies that one has met Brad Pitt before rather than plainly saying that they know of the existence of him. Since this lesson hasn't mentioned anything regarding what I've said above, can anyone enlighten me on this matter?
I'm returning to this lesson after being away from it awhile. And I have the same concern as before: The examples do not tie to the ones on the tests. Terribly confusing. Sometimes using "a", other times not. What gives? I can't be the only one rattled by this, Could someone please simplify this for me? Thanks.
I noticed under "Farm" what I think may be a typo. Is it "grand-parents" or "grands-parents"? Every resource I have indicates that it should be "grands-parents."
Merci !
Why is it not leurs médailles when there is more than one medal?
On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.
Thank you!
Hello,
The lesson states the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses should be used with il faut, and notre/nos / votre/vos are never used.
In the quiz, "Il faut faire nos valises immédiatement." was listed as a correct answer to the question "How could you say "We must pack immediately." ?".
Shouldn't it be "Il faut faire ses valises immédiatement"?
