Even google nor Deepl could translate it correct, so I had no chance!
Wrong: Personne n'
Correct: Aucune n'
Any Reason why?
Thank you for your help
I came across ‘je ne pense pas qu’ils auraient reussi à s’arracher à lui s’il était revenu.’ (Harry Potter translation). Although penser when negated takes the subjunctive is the subjunctive not used when a conditional tense is needed? I guess I’m not sure whether tenses change the use of the subjunctive. I read the future changes to the present to us the subjunctive.
Hello. Is it really possible to find out, which tense i should use, if i only see this first part of the sentence, without knowing whats following?
When we arrived in the changing rooms,
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'm having trouble understanding when to use stress pronouns vs. indirect object pronouns. The sentence "quand un inconnu s'approchait de moi": Why would this not be "quand un inconnu m'approchait"? Would it be different if the verb wasn't reflexive?
In the expression ”...where we'll be able to chat at length.”, is it possible to use ’en détail’ instead of ’longuement’ ? My dictionary gives both as possibilities.
Hi, with s'en aller I get the meaning of an action of going away or just gone away, so quite different from the passé composé but,whereas the passé composé is very structured and always uses the same past participle for the verb the s'en aller expression seems to vary eg je m'en vais,tu t'en vas, giving the idea of a present tense action or an imperfect,IE I/you are going away/have just gone away BUT nous nous sommes est allé and presumably vous vous étes est allé use the past participle of aller. So ,the question is,does this alter the meaning in any way and is it just a grammatical irregularity which has to be learned.?
I learned the version above years ago. Is the “vous vous” form of the question most common now? Or less formal?
