why does "en bon etat" not agree with the feminine house?
I'm fairly sure that "Tu fais quoi demain?" should be accepted here rather than "Qu'est-ce que tu feras demain" no? It's not listed under the acceptable answers, but I think it should be granted the informal nature of the conversation. Can someone confirm?
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?
This is clearly C1 level listening. Too hard
Could you also say “Ma mère devrait arriver bientôt” instead of “ma mère…d’ici peu”
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.
I found the accent of the winegrower Frédéric Berne in this video easy to understand, at least after I went into the text and read that. I looked for any pertinent information on the video at youtube, but I found no answer to my question: Do you happen to know what accent M. Berne in the video has?
I did a small double take with this question because the English "He’s been to" is a past form of "he goes to" not "he is ". You can say "he was in France" but with a slightly different sense, more vague and without any emphasis on the going (UK English ). Perhaps this is my blind spot, but it isn’t a French construction I’d met before so I’d like to know if it’s a. common and b. idiomatic /informal?
(Apologies for reposting this question from a week ago: it’s gone from Q and A and wasn’t answered. Maybe the Helpdesk removed the post because I queried a similar sentence "On a été faire les courses = We went shopping" in a passé composé exercise.)
Salut
The question was : Jeanne va en France ________.Jeanne is going to France for three days
The answer was "pendant trois jours," but the lessons says:"These sentences all express future duration, with an intent, hence the use of pour" Why isn't the correct answer "pour trois jours"? merci
