I don't think its necessary to keep rating myself , tbh I could give myself a smiley face but it makes no difference to learning french !
I wouldn't think that this is necessarily reflexive, not without context.
If we are talking about her teeth, for example, then yes it is reflexive; but what if she were brushing horses, for example, or perhaps her children's teeth? Would not "Elles les brosse." then be correct?
Je fumais depuis..... is used above. The Imperfect with Depuis. In another lesson it said that only the present tense is used with depuis. Which is correct?
At the end of the first paragraph, the transcription should read '..... en relation permanente avec le bateau des douanes. ' to match what is said in the report. He does not repeat ' navire ' here.
I had thought that you would use "effrayant" to describe a scary movie, but it wasn’t an option here. Is that because it’s a stronger adjective you’d employ for horror movies outside her age bracket, maybe ?
How to say "I will arrive": j'arrive or je va arrive?
I’m wondering if there’s a logic for having a singular beetroot in this phrase? Usually you’d make it with more than one, as with "tarte aux pommes"
J'ai l'impression que « J'ai la nausée. » et « Ouvre ta vitre. » devrait être correct aussi ?
I understand that the partative article is used for uncountable amounts. e.g. 'je mange des pâtes'. It is clear that pasta is never going to be counted, so it makes sense it would be partative des.
However if i say 'je mange des carottes', I could mean a big plate of chopped up carrots which are uncountable, which would be partative des.
Or I could mean I am eating 3 whole carrots which are definitely countable. So would this be indefinite des?
Is it the context that would define which article is used?
