How can I re-take the placement test? My computer glitched the first time, & I submitted the test by accident, so I am actually at a much higher level than what they are suggesting. Help!
In the example, all the indirect object phrases start with à or au. Au marché, à Paris. In the quiz, my answer got marked wrong. Il va à chez Jean. The correct answer appears to be il va chez Jean. Is ‘chez x’ a special case that does not require à?
Tu ________ tard hier soir, Marc.You came back late yesterday evening, Marc.(HINT: Conjugate "rentrer" (to come back) in the compound past (Passé Composé))
Why are we not using revenir which means to come back instead of rentrer which means to re-enter?
Isn't saying 'Comment vous vous appelez' the same as saying 'what is you your name'
Or is there something I didn't get?
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?
What a lovely poem! Thanks for making my French learning experience so fun :)
In the Note Bene in today's newsletter, you refer to communication preferences. Where is that?
I would like to ask why in the first sentence 'à Pâques' is not correct and it is translated 'pour Pâques' instead. According to this lesson (Which prepositions to use with celebration days - like Christmas - in French) the preposition should be 'à'. Are there other situations?
Also, why is there the article in '... pour déjeuner le dimanche' if it refers to a specific Sunday? (Using "le" with days of the week + the weekend (French Definite Articles))
Thank you
Hi!
In the notes to this section it says:
Je suis arrivé dix minutes en retard.
But in the video the guy says at 1:06 :
L'avion est arrivé en retard d'une heure.
You even give follow-up examples where the time is at the end of a sentence.
So.....with arriver/venir/commencer/finir (without avec) - it doesn't matter if I put the [time] before or after en retard?
Because if that is the case, then an addition in the "attention section" would be nice:
or
[5 minutes] en retard / [5 minutes] en avance
or
en retard or [5 minutes] en avance / [5 minutes]
Okay, and now I got myself even more confused....😂
