Is there a definitive rule for the placement of the adjectives around the nouns that they qualify?
I was a bit shocked, as one of the things that is alway drummed into anglophones is that, while "œuf" is pronounced urf, "œufs" is pronounced without either f or s, "er" - similar sound to deux. Yet, in this dictée four eggs are very clearly described as œufs!
Is this a mistake, or is the whole "œuf/œufs thing" (that we anglophones are told is so important!) really just a bit of a myth, and all down to personal preference ?
Please can you explain why the subjunctive is used in 'que tu aies des doutes'. Is it to express uncertainty about whether she has doubts or not?
Is "le 3 septembre et je dois rentrer le 7 septembre" really what is said when played back. I can't make out rentrer. The word sounds more like renpris. I'm confused. Just checking to verify.
Thank you
It always when you are talking about a group of people you have to use ( sont) ?
Why is the superlative structure sometimes before the noun it describes and sometime after the noun in the lesson on using the subjunctive with the superlative.
The answer given is je l'ai ecoutee. Why isn't it Je lui ai ecoutee, as we are listening to her? Ah, is is because it's not a transitive 'to', ?
Why is "objectif" not a good translation for "goal" here, and under what circumstances might one use it instead of "but"?
Hello,
This is a technical question rather than grammar so possibly is not the right place to ask this but is it possible to stop and rewind the audio within the Aurelie listening and reading exercises, in order to practice repeating a word or sentence multiple times? It would be useful, before moving on to the next phrase to be able to check and hopefully improve pronounciation.
In the sentence "Apres, j'ai invite mes voisins a un aperitif pour faire leur connaissance", I would have thought "leur connaissance" should be plural (leurs connaissances) because she invited "mes voisins".
