Why is a sales ASSISTANT, referred to as vendeur? A salesperson ( un vendeur) is different than a subordinate salesperson assistant. I used the qualifying adjective and it was marked wrong.

The speakers in this dialogue (a tutor and an adult student who already know each other) used the inversion form to pose questions. Wouldn’t we expect them to use the less formal « est-ce que » form in these circumstances?

I am confused because I thought 2nd and 3rd verbs were always spelled out in full so i put aller here.

Hi Team,

Does the following sentence work in French:

Cela ne tient pas compte d'effets négatifs de la lumière bleue qui perturbe notre horloge biologique.

Bonne journée !

When I check the dictionary "louer" translates into English as "to rent" or "to hire", and conversely "to book" translates into French as "pour réserver".

This is clearly C1 level listening. Too hard

Thanks, Jim & Chris:

Could you use the present participle?  J'ai vu SS descendant(e?) d'une limo...

or would that require the english being:   I saw her... 'getting out of'  vs  'get out of'   ?    Or just be incorrect?

if ok, is it considered an adjective which needs to agree ?  (with ss)

more examples using infinitive, please....

thanks again

Alexis

Hi 

can there be a lesson on the order of two or more adjectives for example

petit , and nouvelle

how would you order them?

une petite maison nouvelle?

une petite nouvelle maison?

une petite et nouvelle maison?

Is the distinction the same as in English, where "the coffee" is specific to a particular coffee in the current context? And "coffee" without the article is talking about coffee in general?

So one can say: Il fait que tu aies de la patience and Il fait que tu sois patient - yes? Both are grammatically correct in English? You must have patience / You must be patient. One being a noun the other an adverb.
