In the sentence, "So, let's raise our glasses to the ones [whom] we love and to the future!", love was translated using aimer. I chose adorer, which was not accepted. I get this wrong all the time. Generally, the problem is how to translate love versus like. With regard to adore, is it that one adores something and not someone ? Thanks in advance.
I was surprised by the phrase “ Ce que j’aime le plus avec Albertville “ Is it equally correct to say, “ Ce que j’aime le plus à Albertville “?
In this example, why is it 'son' annee sabbatique? AS annee sabbatique is feminine, shoud it not be 'sa'?
and when do you use malgre lui
I thought this was "je recommanderais" - "which I would recommend" - rather than "which I will recommend".
Two questions:
1) In this context, would the French always say "I will recommend" rather than " I would recommend"?
2) If not, is there any way of detecting the difference, aurally, between first person in the future and in the conditional ?
In translating the second sentence, "Of course Aline. In 1983, we witnessed Yannick Noah's triumph on live TV...", there is no mention of Roland Garros. I believe that a hint would have been in order.
Why do you need ‘Comment’ when Savoir means to know how to do something?
Why is it 'le jeudi' not just 'jeud'i?
We are talking about a particular Thursday here...
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.
Hello, for this question:
Marie nous rejoindra ________ le restaurant. Marie will meet up with us when we've left the restaurant.
The correct answer is: quand nous aurons quitté
I answered: quand nous serons quitté, as I would say nous sommes quitté le restaurant.
So why is this aurons and not serons?Many thanks!
