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
This exercise seems of a harder level than B2?
Why is "Merci de m'avoir aidé aujourd'hui, c'était super !" not translated as "Thank you for having helped me today" It’s not the same thing as ‘thank you for helping me’ – or is it?
I thought "une paire" could be used as well as "un couple". Does "une paire" imply something like "two things that match/belong together", more than "un couple" does? In English, I would very likely refer to two horses in a field as "a pair of horses", whether they looked alike or not.
I’m wondering if there’s a logic for having a singular beetroot in this phrase? Usually you’d make it with more than one, as with "tarte aux pommes"
"none of them is good" is not correct or appropriate english grammar. the correct phrase should be are, not is. I am seeing several english grammar mistakes in here. quite disappointed.
Hi, I wanted a clarification about how to translate the passive voice. In the example : « they were welcomed by » in English would be different than « they have been welcomed by ». The first exemple for me : « ils étaient accueillis par » and the second « ils ont été accueilli ». If it is accurate, I had test with translating this first example in French, and after being wrong I was wondering which one was right ?
I have found it impossible to learn the 2 conjugations of this verb. I am probably way worse at rote memorization than most other people (and not just for French). Every so often I come back to it here, hoping something will strike me. Aha! I just noticed that the endings for the first conjugation present indicative are the same as for voir! Small progress. As for the second conjugation, are there any "familiar" verbs that have these endings? I tried to used Ez-glot to find similar endings, but the site is no longer accessible.
Thanks
