"beaucoup des chocolatiers" is listed as the correct translation. I thought that if something followed a quantity it became "de". Thanks for clarifying this for me
How do I add this writing exercise(Mother's Day presents) to the notebook?
Jill ________ la colline pour retrouver Jacques.
The given answer is a monté la colline.
Firstly, no one climbs a hill. Perhaps a mountain but not a hill. One goes up a hill. Further, there is no indication she is taking anything up a hill. She is simply going up a hill by herself. This should use être, should it not?
is it [ju suisanglez] or [ju sui anglez]? why?
In a test I was asked to write: Patrick feels bad in this moment. I wrote Patrick se sens mal en ce moment. I was wrong because the answer was Patrick va mal... But is se sens not also correct?
Why is the correct answer: either male or female? The lesson says this:
Mon professeur Bruno et ma professeure Sarah sont gentils
So why is the answer to: "Je suis professeur" not "Leon", why do you say that it could be either?
thanks
Can you say:
Je suis allée à Paris ainsi que à Bordeaux.
I'm posting this as a new question as I previously posted it as a reply and I don't think it gets picked up and answered? (See the lesson page for original question and answer)
Many thanks Jim, that helps. I got confused because the subject of the lesson is about adding même and then these two examples don't without any explanation as to why - or perhaps I need to re-visit the basics! So it's because he is talking of/about himself. If he was talking to himself then it would be 'Il aime vraiment parler à lui-même' ? Also, what if he was saying 'He really likes to talk of/about him' ie a third person - what would be the distinction?
Also, since I posted this I've looked at the lesson on stress pronouns and I'm even more confused. This lesson gives the example of 'Je parle de lui - I speak of him'. So would 'Il parle de lui' be 'He speaks of/about him' or 'He speaks of/about himself'? Help!!
