For,"I love my cousin Benjamin.", Kwizbot's answer: "J'adore mon cousin Benjamin. "
But in the PLF lesson on "aimer", I read that one of the uses of it can be in the love you have for a family member. Therefore, I translated the sentence as "J'aime mon cousin Benjamin."Tout le monde ______ des notes pendant la leçon d'histoire. C'était ennuyeux.
What does the tip mean, "Masculin always wins in french?" I don't understand this. Kindly elaborate. Thanks!
In the Note Bene in today's newsletter, you refer to communication preferences. Where is that?
The exercise uses « Mon parfum «
Is parfum in this context « Flavor »? Is it appropriate to use the word saveur?
Is there a definitive rule for the placement of the adjectives around the nouns that they qualify?
The bolding/unbolding doesn't always make this very clear. So, please can someone clarify the rule on thousands in French?
The English is "I have always wanted." To me, this is a description of an ongoing feeling. So I think "J'avais toujours eu." The correct answer is given as "J'ai toujours eu" To me this is a description of a single event. Can anybody explain? Thank you.
In one of the examples 'this land' is referred to as 'cette contrée' rather than 'ce pays'
Le chevalier fut amené devant le roi de cette contrée par les gardes
Could you please explain this usage to me? Thank you
- "Qui aurait cru que ça arriverait enfin ?". Could I also say "Qui aurait cru que ça serait arrivé enfin ?" ?
- "L'un d'entre eux a même dit 'à bientôt !' au moment où je m'en allais !". Would it be correct to say "L'un d'entre eux a même dit 'à bientôt !' au moment où j'étais en train de m'en aller !" ?
Thank you!
