How do I know which one to use? If I want to say “he needs to go grocery shopping” (for example), are “il doit faire ses courses” and “il faut faire ses courses” equivalent or is there some nuance that doesn’t come through in English?
Normally when you explain how a verb works, you give examples of every ‘person’ - 1st, 2nd & 3rd in both singular and plural. In this example you have not listed the 3rd person plural and I think it might be an oversight: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/results/18797378/system?quick-lesson-popup=2
In using 'soit/soit as either/or is this 'soit' as in the subjunctive of etre, ie in English one might say, 'be it x or be it y' or a different word altogether?
I can’t quite understand why the subordinate clause here is in the present when the main sentence is past. Nous avons passé une bonne journée ________d'avis. I wrote “sans que je n’aie changé” but the correct answer was in the present “sans que je ne change”…
(We had a nice day without my changing my mind).
Hi,
The word game is not really very helpful to revise the words. Can you add simple tests that evaluate from English to French and French to English? Always with the articles of course 😊.
Thanks
La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________respecter les limites.
To me, this is saying that we should be respecting the limits of “freedom of expression,” not the limits “of expression.” So shouldn’t the correct pronoun be “la” to reference “la liberté d'expression”? Thanks for helping me to understand this.
If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?
why does the voice change... it jumps scared me! also are the voices the same from doulingo
