This question doesn't direct us to use a specific verb. It only gives us the english "to hate" so why can't we use hair? Sorry can't figure out the accents on my keyboard.
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’ ?
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.
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!
Could you also say “Ma mère devrait arriver bientôt” instead of “ma mère…d’ici peu”
Would décéler also work instead of identifier?
Bonjour
Je suis à la maison de Lucie*I wonder what is the reason on its incorrect.
Is it because that it's too formal?
Merci~
