I received a question to translate "You're laughing while looking at me." where the correct answer is "Vous riez en me regardant."
Doesn't regarder mean "to watch" and voir means "to see"?
Wouldn't "looking" in this case mean "en voyant"?
Thank you for your help.
I’m not familiar with the rule of ‘re’ bring added to ‘grossir’ in order to say someone is doing something again. Is this a general rule?
Is it acceptable to say here instead:
Sur laquelle elle s'allongeait en rêvassant pendant des heures.?
How to say "I will arrive": j'arrive or je va arrive?
In using 'soit/soit as either/or is this 'soit' as in the subjunctive of etre, ie in English one might say, 'be it x or be it y' or a different word altogether?
Why is it wrong to use se tremper as well as avoir tort?
I had written 'Il me faut aller sur le toit', which Kwiziq corrected to 'Il faut que j'aille sur le toit'. I know the construction 'il faut + subjunctive', but could you not use the infinitive when there is the same subject in the main and relative clause? Or does the meaning of the sentence change? Thank you
The adverbial pronoun lesson says y can replace a group introduced by the preposition à + [thing(s)/object(s)/location(s)]. In this exercise the preceeding sentence has "J'ai donné tout ce qu'il me restait à mes collègues..." But the following " j'ai substitué " I believe is referring to "tout ce qu'il me restait" not to "mes collègues". Why not " je l'ai substitué" ?
