The example that brought me here was J'ai déjà travaillé dans un restaurant. The lesson says that the adverb is placed after the past participle, but the correction places it before the past participle
I want a lesson in using the above topics. How do I find the lesson for a specific problem AND... can I make a lesson if there isn't one already?
Thanx timothy
Why is the sentence in passé composé rather than in imparfait? The act of saving has to happen over a period of time. It is not a one-time action.
Why is the word "là" translated as "here?" Shouldn't it be "ici?"
why are we using des with six ( chacun des six chateaux) as six is the defined number
Hello. I was doing a B1 writing exercise called "Spanish Cooking". Why is "but I struggled more with the tortilla." translated as "J'ai eu plus de mal" and not "J'ai eu plus DU mal"?
I don't understand this particular line:
The context in which you could use sortir de [ville] to express to leave [city] is very specific in French (note that it doesn't apply to countries,states,regions etc). It would only refer to an action in progress
Does this mean you can't use sortir de [ville] in future/past tense (Je sortirai de Paris), but you CAN use it in other tenses with countries, states, regions, etc?
Or does this mean you cannot use it with countries, states, regions...and you can only use it with cities if it's an action in progress?
I thought adverbs can only modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
How come the adverb 'bientôt' is placed before the nound 'les vacances"?
Hi, according to lawlessfrench, partitive articles are used with uncountable nouns.
But you say "Note that when the adjective is placed BEFORE a plural noun, the partitive article des (some) becomes de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h) "
Also your example "J'achète de beaux draps." (I think that drap is a countable noun)
If it is used with uncountable nouns, why do you use partitive article with countable noun "drap"?
Thank you.
