Quelle est la différence entre "d'abord," "au début," et "pour commencer ?" Il y a des nuances d'utilisation ?
Bonjour,
I was wondering why "pas" isnt used in "ça ne fait rien", as usually to express a negative you'd have to use "ne ... pas". Is "pas" something that has been dropped in the expression over time? And are there other expressions which also use "ne" without the "pas"?
Thanks!
I received a question to translate "You're laughing while looking at me." where the correct answer is "Vous riez en me regardant."
Doesn't regarder mean "to watch" and voir means "to see"?
Wouldn't "looking" in this case mean "en voyant"?
Thank you for your help.
Why is this in the subjunctive?
Pourquoi avez-vous utilisé le dans l'expression "pour le goûter" et pas la, alors qu'il s'agit de la tarte, qui est un mot féminin ?
J'entend il se rend, pas on se rend, dans le phrase "et on se rend dans les cimetières".
The stone question was not easy. How would one say "Stone collection" or " Pierre's Stone collection"?
Thank you, Di
In the phrase 'Jules m'apprendra à faire du snowboard', I used 'enseignera' but this was not listed as an optional answer. Could you explain please? Thanks.
In the sentence, ”She would probably have preferred for us to stay home.”, the latter part is translated by "...qu’on reste à la maison ”. Must we use ’à la maison’ instead of ’chez nous’ because of the pronoun, ’on’? In other words, does the use of ’on’ dictate the use of ’à la maison’, thereby prohibiting ’chez nous’ ?
