"J'aurais une grande maison si j'en avais les moyens"
Why is the imparfait "avais" used here? "Could" is conditional, so why are we not using "pourrais" here?
I got this question:
Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est _______.
I answered bon because I knew to use the masculine, but my question is why it's c'est in this case. I've read the relevant pages ("C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French and Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine) and my interpretation is that this would fall under 2b of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French:
il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things.Why we say
Elle est son sac
Not Elle est sa sac
How can I work towards a Silver Star on a specific area when the Kwizbot will not allow me to take any further quizzes for what looks like more than 8 days since the last quiz taken ?
It looks like when I take a few quizzes I am then hamstrung against making further progress for far too long a period of time.
