"Foot" in French is "soccer" in English. It is not "football"
Please correct this translation.
Bonjour, pourquoi est-ce qu'il ya un s à la fin du mot ?
C'est drôle. Je pensais que ce texte parlerait de jeux dans la neige ! Mais ils sont restés à la maison à regarder Netflix. 😉
Pauline, tu as l'air plus détendue.I thought détendu would agree with l'air not with subject of sentence.
Why is there not a liason between "il est allé " for he looked for a ladder ?
I have noticed that many of the sentences in the dictées start with a dash “-“. Is there a set rule in French for this, or is it just a style choice used here?
I am not sure about the UK but in America you play ON a team or FOR a team. You never play IN a team.
Quand quelqu’un parle d’une groupe de laquelle il fait partie, est-qu’il est nécessaire incluir le “nous”? Par exemple, peut-on dire:
«Les Américains avons l’habitude de prendre du café les matins.»
I am very unsure about the passive tense I am notice quite a bit of passive tense in my passage.
In the sentence, "Pauline, tu as l'air plus détendue que d'habitude !", I thought the adjective, détendu, modified the masculine noun, air., i.e. in English relaxed air. The correction implies that détendu modifies Pauline. Correct? So, in the construction of avoir l'air, it is the subject, in this case Pauline, which determines the agreement. Correct?
