This answer was said to be correct however I had not ticked it because I thought « de onze » was incorrect. Why isn’t it « d’onze » ?
can you say qui es tu , and does it means the same as tu es qui ?
Why does one say "j'ai arrêté de parler" and not "je me suis arrêté de parler"?
arrêter is a transitive verb and thus to my understanding takes an object but the verb parler can not be an object in the example above. So how do I know what one to use.
Hi there;
Can I spell out my difficulty with this?
The three sample sentences are (and I've re-ordered the clauses on one to make my point clear):
Depuis que j'ai quatre ans, je porte des lunettes.
Depuis que vous nous l'avez dit, nous le savons.
Depuis que je t'ai rencontré, ma vie a complètement changé.
In the first two examples, the second clause of each is in the present tense; why not in the third example?
Best wishes,
Hugh
What does "bien" translate as in the first sentence, "Vous êtes bien chez Anne-Sophie et Guy Degrenne?"
Bonjour!
Verbs that use être as auxillary in the perfect past tense, must have agreement of the past participle with the subject pronoun, but what if a direct object pronoun were included in the sentence? Which of the two pronouns would a past participle agree with please? Subject pronoun or direct object pronoun? Please site an example or two with your answer if possible.
Regards, Cheryl
Il faut toujours essayer ... avant de juger. I used soi since I read this to be a universal self where soi is used. Why is it soi-même? What’s the rule to differentiate when using On to mean universal, we the people, etc? I used soi in a previous question using On and it was correct. Thanks.
