Hi. Easy but frustrating question. Why is the sentence “C’est Francois Hollande” and not “Il est Francois Hollande”. In a class and being told the former. But when I state “Il est Paul Martin”, that’s correct. Merci!
I don't understand, why is it "allez" with a z at the end but "êtes" with an s? Isn't it the same form?
Is it correct to write:
Ainsi, ayant pris soin de satisfaire à l'exigence de .....
I cannot work this out from the Progress materials, which seem to focus mostly on en+..ant
Merci
The translation for "the latest season" is given as "la dernière saison." When reading the grammar lesson for dernier, I thought this would mean the final season of the show (i.e. the show has concluded and they are not planning to produce anymore seasons).
I had interpreted "the latest season" to mean the most recent (i.e. previous) season, so I used "la saison dernière" but this was marked incorrect.
Can someone explain further? Thanks!
Thanks Céline for yet another well thought out exercise. I really appreciate the rich, diversified vocabulary with so many roots that are common to similar English words. The recognition that approximately 40% of French words are the same or almost the same has allowed me to expand my French vocabulary. There are at least a dozen examples in this story. Sometimes, I just guess by constructing an unknown French word from an English word. It mostly works! Best wishes.
why use "pourra" instead of "pourront"? I thought tout means every, all.
Hello, is there a way to mark exercises in some way so you could query the marked list, just like we can do with Notebooks for lessons? I have some dictees and writing exercises to which I want to return, but I don't know how to do that other than writing the names down. If not, it would be a really nice feature to add.
Why can't you use ça est? You correct this to ça c'est.
Hi everyone :)
I'd like to ask, does "baggy" means "large" in french ?
I doubt it.
Thank you
