Please explain why in this exercise the present subjunctive is used rather than the perfect subjunctive in the sentence 'Il a fallu qu'elle reste suspendue dans les airs plusieurs heures avant que les secours ne réussissent à la secourir.'
Is it correct to use 'rentrer' instead of 'retourner' in the last but one sentence?
If "Vous faites tous vos devoirs?" ranslates as "Are you all doing your homework?" Then, how does one say "Are you doing all of your homework?" in French?
In the first paragraph and the phrase "il faut entrer dans la tête .." I'm hearing the "t" of "faut" being pronounced.
As there is a "verbe + verb infinitif" situation my understanding is that liaison is forbidden.
However, the "t" sounded does not appear to link across to "entrer".
I would really appreciate some comment !
When do you use the definite article with names that don't normally have one?
Since it's a matter of opinion, I'm unclear about why the correct statement is "Je l'ai toujours pensé" and NOT "Je le toujours pensais". Any clarification would be much appreciated.
in america, If you say "I took my exam" it means you were present. It does not refer to passing. If you took the exam and passed, then you say, I passed my exams. But you cannot say, I took when you received a pass or fail or grade.
Could you also say “Ma mère devrait arriver bientôt” instead of “ma mère…d’ici peu”
Hello, I am a hard of hearing person and I am struggling with the speed of the dictées. I realise we need to hear the texts at a normal speed but is there any way to slow them down for me to hear them more clearly & then progress to normal speed? This would make a BIG difference for me. Many thanks.
