Why is ‘ne soyez’ marked correct. Isn’t this subjonctif passé and isn’t fatiguer conjugated with avoir in compound tensed?
Why is araignée plural while all the other nouns are singular. Spider legs. Why spiders' legs?
I assume that the avoir aspect of the sentence also changes with tense for example:
Imparfaite =J'avais besoin de= I have needed
Future= J'aurai besoin de= I will need
Passe compose= J'ai eu besoin de= I needed
Plus-que-Parfaite= J'avais eu besoin de= I have had needed
etc.
Is this correct?
Why is "Ils ont été" and not "Ils étaient" ? These answers for were baffle me. They have been - They were, or are they interchangeable ?
"by punching a wall" - how does this translate to the above and why? the phrase is "donner un coup de poing" so why is it "un" replaced with "des" here? and why is "dans le mur" when it says "punching A wall"?
Somewhere in my past studies, I was told that using "bien" with "aimer" actually lessens its meaning from love to like. Did I get that wrong, because in my recent lessons, it's used more as an intensifier. Sorry if I missed this on the thread before.
Currently, I am doing a part time job.
Is it right that you don't pronounce the 'S' at the end of 'suis' when it's followed by 'à'?
I had thought anytime a vowel sound follows a word ending in 's', you pronounce that s. Like with 'Je dine dans une...'
Which is right and why?
