If you want to say "I think about my wife". ChatGPT suggests I say "Je pense à elle", instead of "Je lui pense".
It says "Je lui pense" can be grammaticaly correct but it's too formal, old or used in literary.
However, this lesson says nothing about this. Can anyone explain this?
Hi,
How often can I take the quiz of the topics in my notebook and how long do I have to wait after first attempt to do it again please? thank you.
I tend to get tangled up with possessive "de" but wanted to query why the two capitalised nouns above take de l’ rather than d’? The dog is best friend of "Man" not "a man", and capitalising both nouns implies to me a generalisation or personification: despite that, they don’t seem to be treated as proper nouns in French.
Complète avec pourquoi ou parce que. Puis associe les questions et les réponses.
a ... tu ne manges pas à la cantine?
b nous avons des copains et des copines.
c'est jeudi, on n'a pas cours de français le jeudi!
d est-ce que nous n'avons pas cours de français ?
e est-ce que vous aimez le collège?
... je mange avec mes parents le midi.
Pourquoi pas je me suis matée? C'est une femme qui parle.
Moi j'ai dit "une petite gorge irritée" comme j'ai vu sur WordReference, mais ce n'était pas correcte. Est-ce que c'est trop familier pour cette situation? Merci d'avance!
I am uncertain why it is "de plus belle" and not "de plus beau".
It seems to refer back to le fou rire, which is masculine.
Maybe "plus belle" is a fixed term?
Seems like we're putting the verb before the subject. Why not "les panneaux produiraient"?
This is doing my head in... My grammar exercise book has:
1. Nous devons fermer tous les volets. -> Nous devons tous les fermer.
2. Elle va faire toutes ses courses au supermarché. -> Elle va toutes les faire.
BUT
3. Nous souhaitons recevoir tous nos amis pour notre anniversaire de mariage. -> Nous souhaitons les recevoir tous.
My textbook gives no explanation as to why tous/toutes comes before the object pronoun in 1,2 but after the infinitive in 3.
