j'ai trente ans, je n'ai pas vingt-neuf ans.
"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?
Is there any reason the lesson uses only aimer to mean "like" for J'aime lire but then uses aimer + bien for "like" in Vous aimez bien vous promener ?
I thought aimer meant love if bien wasn't added. Thank you!
(I'm afraid I can't remember the French question, but this was how I read it in English.)Why is this in the subjunctive? It seems to me to be a fact that the obligation is not needed. Thanks for the explanation.
Hi could you please explain the pronunciation of Marcher
1. The 'e' at the end of Matcher is clearly pronounced. I had understood that the final e of a word was not pronounced ... could you please clarify.
2. It sounds as if the 'ch' in marcher is pronounced exactly as an English 'ch' though I'd understood that a French 'h' is not pronounced. If the 'h' is not pronounced then 'c' should, according to the pronunciation rules, be pronounced as [s] or [k] depending on circumstances ... but this is not so.
Please advise Thank you
How about "in the evening" or "in the morning" as a one-time event? I understand that if one does something every evening the term is "le soir" (Tu ne lis que le soir). But what if I'm referring to a specific evening, for example: On est partis tôt et on est arrivés à la maison (in the evening). While I'm asking, how would one modify that to express "early in the evening."
