In the sentence, ”Tandis que je regarde autour de moi, je me sens émue de voir autant de personnes présentes aujourd'hui”, why is ’pendant que’ not an acceptable alternative ?
How could we deduce that these were plural, and not " de potentielle répercussion professionnelle" ?
The lesson didn't mention much about "par".
Is it really used just for those few mentioned in the note?
In the 2nd quiz on plus-que-parfait (La soiree de mes Reves), the 4th blank from the END requires us to conjugate faciliter in the plus-que-parfait tense.
According to me, it should be : ce qui nous avions facilite (with an accent on the last e of facilite); however the solutions key is showing it to be nous avait facilite (with an accent on the last e of facilite).
Can you please explain why we are using the 3rd person singular form of conjugation of the auxiliary verb in imparfait (il /elle / on avait) rather than that with nous (avions) here ?
The examples of use of the passive voice use is, will be, would be, was and used to be. Please provide an example of "had been". Is it for example "La souris avait été par le chat"?
Can one use 'une pénalité' for 'penalty' or is that just used in rugby as opposed to soccer?
The text says "Note that in each case where être is the auxilliary, the verb passer is followed by a preposition (en, sur, dans, à etc.). "
But then we have the example "Elle est passée chez Laurent hier"
Surely "chez laurent" is a noun?
J'ai décidé de perdre du poids.
J'ai décidé du faire. OR J'ai décidé de le faire. [I have decided to do it] ??
What is the rule related to this? Please share.
Does not the 2024 Tour de France end in Nice (because of the Olympics in Paris)?
J'ai beaucoup apprécié ce texte parce que j'ai oublié beaucoup du film. Maintenant, je me souviens du personnage principal, je veux regarder le film à nouveau. Merci beaucoup !
