Hi,
Can anyone explain why sometimes in these types of phrases plural is used 'nos vies' or sometimes it is expressed in the singular ' leur imagination'
Is it optional or is there a rule governing this?
Thanks
My question is about:Que dessinent les enfants ?What are the children drawing?, given in the examples;Could you also say, "Que dessinent-ils les enfants?" ?
Hi.
I tried some A1 listening today after long time. I was shocked that I couldn't catch what the child was saying. When said says - Le mélange mousse...i heard something entirely different. Wonder if anyone else faced this. I worry about my listening skills a lot anyway.
Not complaining, but I wonder if you could explain why sometimes the "your answer matched mine" differs from the version in the text on the final page? For example I had "nous apprenons de nouvelles choses chaque fois que nous le faisons !" marked correct but it becomes "à chaque fois" in the full text at the end. And several times my answer is red-pencilled but then is given as a possible alternative. Does this reflect later editing of an exercise or mean maybe that my answer was ok but not the best?
Is the first example (Examples and Resources) an error or a weird idiom?
Peut-on dire aussi "piste"? Quelle est la différence entre les deux?
The first two sentences of the exercise use "on" rather than "nous" for we. Why is the "nous conjugation of the imperative verb (prenons) used rather than the "on" conjugation (prend)? That is why "Prenons un selfie"... rather than "Prend un selfie"...?
What are the conjugations of other irregular ER verbs?
Hello!
I am wondering why there is a '-t-' in the sentence "Où va-t-on mettre le sapin ?" Is this because it is using the reflexive version of the verb mettre? If so why do we use the relflexive mettre in this instance? Thank you.
