can you ever use 'depuis' without que, ot only if it relates to time... depuis ce matin, il pleut?
What does this ........ in the text
If I don't type with the accents that are part of French writing, will I still be understood?
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.
What is ready in French
One of the questions has the reply alternative: D'ici le temps que nous trouvions une solution, il sera trop tard. This was considered incorrect.
However, Reverso has loads of examples where "D'ici le temps que + subj." is translated as "By the time that". So, any reason why this doesn't work here?
d'ici le temps que ces dispositions soient mises en oeuvre -> by the time this is implemented
d'ici le temps que ton bébé ait le même âge que Samuel -> by the time your baby is Samuel's age
etc., etc
In english, if someone is upset, or if something's going on, i might ask "what is it?". I'm not exaclty asking the meaning of something but im wondering about a situation if that makes sense.
So would the french translation in that scenario be "c'est quoi/qu'est-ce que c'est"? Or does that only refer to a noun.
I hope I'm making sense.
Hi there - this topic is giving me the biggest trouble. Crafting questions!
Is there any advice or guidance or on how to approach this? I cannot seem to connect with this at all. Thanks!
"Là, une multitude d'étals de poissons fraîchement pêchés aiguisaient l'appétit des passants"
I don't understand the plural here: Isn't it "Une multitude d'étals" - multitude being singular - which is the subject of the verb - rather than "D'étals" themselves, which would be plural.
I'm trying to devine whether there is some rule at work here here, or whether it's pretty much optional.
This is absolute problem in lwarning variois uses of same pattern in sentences
