"Une peintre" and "une peinture"
Meaning of the above two words is the same which is "a Painting"......Am I correct....if yes then what's the French for "a painter"?
The note about répartir in this lesson:
Note that the verb répartir is NOT a derivative of partir, but shares its root with the word repartition, and does follow the regular -IR conjugation.
Is a little confusing, because 'partir' is not mentioned anywhere, and there is a very subtle difference with 'repartir' that is also not mentioned. Having some of this context would help!
In the test the correct answer is "I can do it". Based on my current knowledge, it literally means "I know how to do it"
Is this just a case of creative license in translation?
Hi,
I am seeing the past participle agreeing in number, adding "s" when I see les lui or les leur
What do I need to know about the status of the past participle in an example such as... "Nous les leur avons montrés."
Thank you
Hi there, can anyone suggest a rule that works for making a liason between words pronounced...? Not as simple as before a vowel as I have found in the above examples:
"Nous sommes allées..." (liason pronounced between sommes-allées...)
"Pauline a dit Je suis allée en France..." (no liason pronounced between suis-allée...)
"Ils etaient meilleurs amis..." (liason pronounced between meilleurs-amis...)
Grateful for any tips on a rule that works...
Michael
