Unsure of the correct translation of D Day I turned to wordreference. They start with Le Jour J. Why is that incorrect?
Dans cette phrase vous avez utilisé le ne explétif sans qu'il y ait une négation dans la phrase précédente:  "Du coup, la loi de 1965 a permis aux femmes mariées d'ouvrir un compte bancaire sans que leur mari n'intervienne, les émancipant ainsi financièrement de leur conjoint."
Je croyais  qu'il fallait une négation avant "sans que" pour ajouter le ne explétif.
In the sentence, "A few years back, I read a book written by a New Yorker who had lived in Paris for a while, ...", I was wondering if ’pendant un moment’ would be an appropriate translation of 'for a while'. I found this in Wordreference, used it, and it was marked wrong.
If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?
Â
« Elle se maria » [cette année-là ] I don’t recognise the conjugation of se marier?
Would décéler also work instead of identifier?
Is there a complete list of words like: des bals([dancing] balls),
des carnavals,
des festivals,
des récitals,..?
I can't find it on your site.
Thanks in advance, Jaap.
Hi everyone :)
Could you please explain to me why we use "avoir Ă " instead of "avoir besoin de"?
Also, at what moment/time we use "avoir Ă "?
Thank you in advance for your time and respond.
