French language Q&A Forum

Beaucoup d’expressions et de pensées utiles rassemblées de manière à m’aider à me souvenir comment les écrire. Merci !

Thanks, Jim & Chris:

Could you use the present participle?  J'ai vu SS descendant(e?) d'une limo...

or would that require the english being:   I saw her... 'getting out of'  vs  'get out of'   ?    Or just be incorrect?

if ok, is it considered an adjective which needs to agree ?  (with ss)

more examples using infinitive, please....

thanks again

Alexis

Salut! Thank you for this wonderful platform for studying French! I have one issue to share: I am an A0/A1 learner. One of the quiz questions "Who is speaking?" was asked regarding this sentence: "Je suis acteur." My reponse was "Both of them." However, when reviewing the corrections, it stated that my answer was "Michael" and the correct answer was "Both of them." I tripled checked and I did input the correct anwer each time. I just wanted you to be aware.

Thanks, again!

and when do you use    malgre lui

pourquoi on utilise 'règnent' ici, pas 'règne' ?

I translated this as 'Il était incroyable hier' - but it was marked wrong, citing the correct answer as, 'Il a été hier'    why? Even when I put it into a translator it says it should be était. What am I missing?

I was watching a short youtube video in which, if I understood the gist of it, a bilingual gentleman was giving students advice in how to translate.  I thought I heard him address his audience repeatedly by 'tu'. I don't know if it was a tongue in cheek humour or was he being unusually familiar, The video was here:
