This was a great exercise. Just wanted to flag that sometimes after submitting responses, no corrections displayed and I was therefore unable to mark myself.
I was reading a short piece and came across this sentence. I understand everything up until peuvent recevoir. I know what it's suppose to mean however why after que, we use peuvent instead of saying
Il y a au moins trois labels de qualité que les communes français peuvent recevoir .
Why is it wrong to use se tremper as well as avoir tort?
In a previous lesson, J’allais + infinitive = was going to _ . This example that is captioned, is translated as ‘ I was enrolling at university’ instead of ‘I was going to enroll’.
Hello, I have these 2 lessons coming up at the same time "How to use 'avoir l'habitude de' in French" to express a habit in current or past times and "Expressing past habits or repeated actions with the imperfect tense" - how do I know which one to use (ie. just the imperfect tense or the expression avoir l'habitude)? When I go through the test at the end of my 10 lessons I don't know which one is the answer they're looking for.
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 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
Can someone help me with laissez-vous enchanter? What exactly does this mean in English? Let yourself be enchanted? It's easy to be enchanted? Thank you.
