The english is ' until she can do it herself' . 'toute seule' I think translates here as 'on her own'. Should it not be 'elle-meme'?
I am never 100% certain in the use of the conditional tense. In the sentence « What would you like today » your hint was to use ‘vouloir’ in the present. Ok, although when I see « would » my brain automatically thinks ‘the conditional’. I stuck with the present for Mme M’s reply, but I see that you’ve said « je voudrais quatre croissants svp ». I’m surmising that this is Mme M being polite and that for the person behind the counter to say « Qu’est-ce que vous voudriez aujourd’hui » is OTT as Mme M is known to them ?
Hi. The section “if only she had let them” is translated as “si seulement elle les avait laissé faire”, but should this be “si seulement elle les avait laissés faire”?
The hint of "bien que" for the section:
- Avec tellement de pubs promettant de vous enrichir rapidement grâce à la cryptomonnaie
seems a bit of a red herring?
For "Why have you left it so late?" I'm wondering whether it's possible to use "Pourquoi es-tu t'y pris tellement tard?"
I know that' "sy prendre trop tard pour faire" was used in the musicals week but I'm not sure if there's a distinction that would make this expression unsuitable in this context. Thanks!
I'm still translating these types of sentences with être ("Ce matin, mon train était encore plus d'une heure de retard,") Could you please remind me of the rule relating to the use of avoir and not être in these situations. Thank You.
The lesson states that "if [action of the sans que clause] is over before the action of the main clause, you'll use Le Subjonctif Passé." So why does Tu as fait tout ça sans ________ au courant. need que Neve soit, which is in the Subjonctif Present, rather than que Neve l'ait été, which is in Subjonctif Passé?
I've never understood this. Thanks,
Rebecca
Ce quoi la base de informatique et le but
Hello, I put 'suis-tu' in the first sentence, as 'have you been following' is the present perfect continuous, but it was marked as wrong. The answer in French, 'as-tu suivi', made it seem that the event was already in the past. Which is correct?
Thanks a lot.
