je chérirai toujours la nuit... why we use futur simple of chérir here?
Think this may have crept in accidentally?
Would we not always say "un" fois deux. i am not sure why the example uses the feminine article "une". I understand une fois would translate more directly to "once" instead of one times (...). or is it that Une is agreeing with fois a fem noun?
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....😂
How do you express walking fast for exercise, pas comme une promenade.
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 !
We say «J'aime LES fleurs MAIS je dessine DES fleurs.»
Why?
I think the explanation for avoir envie de vomir needs to be amended to say that this can be expressed using avoir besoin de as well as using devoir. Having studied the lesson, I assumed you could only use avoir envie de.
Rather than using "je dois aussi acheter...," I used "il faut que j'aussi achète...." It marked me incorrect and didn't have my translation as an option. Is mine actually wrong?
I don’t understand the instructions. If I push on a letter, the letter appears above the circle, but how do the boxes get filled in with the letters?
