I was wondering why with the sentence "une salle de bains avec une baignoire", that "bains" is plural. Is it always plural even if there is just the one bathroom ?
Merci
Bonjour,
Can someone please explain why the following is marked incorrect? I'm having the same issue that Michael appeared to have in December but it's still outstanding for me.
"Qu'est-ce que c'est La Sorbonne" is scored incorrect, and the accepted answer is:
"Qu'est-ce que La Sorbonne", but according to the lesson:
If you want to ask what something is by name, simply add the name of the thing after c'est quoi or qu'est-ce que c'est. These are not the most elegant questions, but probably the most commonly used.
Merci
Whoops, my question was posted incomplete.
As I was saying (!), in the examples there is agreement between the indirect object and the participle:
La télé? Oui, Marc l'a regardée
Ces épisodes? Il les avait déjà vus
If this is the case, then shouldn't 'Tu lui as parlé' translate as 'You talked to him', BUT 'Tu lui as parlée translate as 'You talked to her'?
After taking the initial test, naturally, my level is entry level. However, the suggested lessons consist of things I have no idea about. I don't even know the French pronouns to begin with! How is it suggesting things like using La, Le, etc.
I'm not very encouraged to upgrade the plan if that's the case.
Would you mind clarifying this issue?
Thanks.
One of the questions was to write in what would go before "chaud" in order to create the sentence, "It is hot." I wrote "Il est" because I'd learned in Rosetta Stone that with a simple adjective, you should use "Il est" and not "C''est". They used the example of "Il est dangereux de toucher un serpent." Is there something different in this sentence that makes the use of "Il est" more appropriate? Would love to get an answer.
In a test the sentence "Nous étions toujours ensemble à cette époque." was translated as
We were still together at that time. Does "toujours" mean "still?" Or should the translation be We were always together at that time. ?
Merci.
