Is the pronunciation of "nombreuses années" in the first example correct? To my ear it sounds odd to emphasize the "es" when making the liaison.
Most of the lessons on this site help with grammatical understanding, however this is the first lesson I’m struggling to understand. I’ve found some comments useful after being overly frustrated with getting the quizzes wrong, but I feel this article needs an update for further clarity.
Why "ils ont pris le temps" (passe compose). It seems to me this should be "ils prenaient les temps" (imparfait). This part of the sentence describes the background. Also, this is an opinion. I note that the same sentence uses provenaient (imparfait)
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~
In the question...
Comment ________ tes vacances ?How are your holidays going?... I wrote "vont" instead of "se passent". Why is that unacceptable, given that you can say "Comment allez-vous?"? Can you only use "aller" with people to mean "go" in this sense?
So, when is it appropriate to use "aime" and "aime bien ?"
this is frustrating. where does it say "jour" as in day? how are we supposed to know its St Julien Day and not a destination called St Julien?
If I don't type with the accents that are part of French writing, will I still be understood?
