Why would it not be:
Oui, je y veux.
We use venir à?
It thought that that espérer was followed by the future tense when stated affirmatively, and was followed by the subjunctive tense when espérer when stated as a question or in the negative. Yet, in the writing practice, the following is presented as the correct way to use espérer:
Espérons que cela se rafraichisse dans les jours qui viennent.
Why when that is an affirmative statement? Why isn't this correct?: "Espérons que cela se rafraichira"
Hello, I typed 'j'essaie' but it corrected to 'j'essaye'. However, under the 'you could also say' section, it said 'j'essaie' was correct. Thanks!
This was my first time coming across the inverted questions.. 'puis je'
I read the lesson that that's more formal and 'est-ce que' is used more colloquially. I thought you could always replace est-ce que with just the interogative + subject + verb so I put 'Que je peux faire...' which was marked wrong. Is this wrong with these inverted questions?
And also in the lesson it mentioned "statement order"'questions being a possibility. What are these?
In the sentence "She's a French actress", supposing I'm pointing out to a picture of the actress in my hand or the actress is standing herself by my side, presenting her to others, in these cases, can I say "Elle est une actrice française" ? Or even though it remains "C'est une actrice française" ?
