In the last vignette, is quais incorrect for the dialogue? isn't Oui correct?
If the sentence is "Elle finira en prison pour avoir tué son amant." ....why does the English translation say "She will end up in prison for killing her lover" and not 'She will end up in prison for having killed her lover"....?
Hello.
First question: in the lesson 'Describing senses with 'sentir' -- the different meanings of sentir in French', these examples are provided to illustrate that sentir can refer to an overall feeling: je ne sens rien; est-ce qu'elle sent ça?
Why are these not je ne me sens rien; and est-ce qu'elle se sent ça?
Do we use the reflexive form only if there is a specific adjective or adverb being used to identify the kind of feeling, as opposed to the more general rien or ça? So, whilst you would say je ne sens rien if you felt nothing, you would use se sentir if sensation came back to your toes: oui, je me sens les orteils! ? Is that correct?
Second, can ressentir ever be reflexive?
I would find it helpful to have a lesson on the use of toujours vs encore. I tend to mix them up in French.
E.g.
Je me souviens toujours de ton sourire
Je me souviens encore de ton sourire
Or:
Je t'aime toujours
Je t'aime encore
The same in the negative:
Je n'ai pas encore travaillé
Je n'ai pas toujours travaillé
I know these have different meanings but I think I'm often mixing them up.
Why was the Imperfect tense used in this exercise? How do I recognise when it should be used?
Can I use " Jules m'apprendra à faire de la raquette à neige" instead of "Jules m'apprendra à faire du snowboard"
Essayez de devenir plus spirituel. Peux-tu? Veux-tu? Le jardin de Monet a plus importante que la grammaire.
In the Quiz, "She'll be back in five."
Why is Elle revient dans cinq minutes, chosen over as the correct response and not "Elle va revenir dans cinq minutes"?
How do one differentiate when to use Le Present vs Le Futur Proche (aller + infinitive)?
In the sentence "Au final, ce que je préfère avec la Saint-Valentin, c'est trouver les chocolats à prix réduit que l'on peut acheter en général le 15 février dans les magasins !" what is the purpose of the "l'" before on? Merci !
