The lesson - and the quizzes based on it - use the grave accent for all 6 endings in this tense.
But all of the online conjugators that I have checked with use the acute accent.
As do all of the exmples in context on the web.
It seems it should be "il était" because you are referring specifically to the TGV, and not trains generally.
I don't understand how the example "Le disque jaune" can mean "The amber light". Jaune=yellow, so I accept it can also mean amber. But how can disque mean light, doesn't it normally mean disc? This can however be a thing i haven't learned in English, as neither English nor French is my native language.
Hi, I was expecting to see a definite article (“un”) before rendez-vous in “J’ai rendez-vous cet après-midi”. Could you explain why this is not needed please?
Bonjour!
Why does "J'en vaux vraiment la peine" have en whereas "Ça vaut la peine" doesn't? I've encountered the latter phrase before but with en (i.e. Ça en vaut la peine).
Will appreciate further clarity on this :)
Merci!
Mes amis pèlent tous les étés !
My friends' skin peels every summer
Should this be "My friends peel every summer" as the French seems to imply more than one friend ?
Prison seems like a pretty specific place... so why 'en' instead of 'dans la'?
Please refresh my memory. Is there a construction: "Il faut que vous (subjunctive)? E.g. Il faut que vous soyez ici demain?
