I believe the explanation in the Q&A for using the present tense in place of a conjugated verb should be part of the main lesson as opposed to surfacing in the Q&A as it is an important exception to the general grammar rule and subject of the lesson.
In English, "I have nothing more to say to you" has a slightly different meaning to "I have nothing to say to you any more" - I guess because the second stresses you’re not going to speak again and the first that you’ve nothing left to say. Is there a way to make the distinction in French ?
I’d be interested to get a feel for how often inversion is used in everyday speech and the register of the examples below, from further down the thread. Presumably the one with quand at the end is the least formal?
Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?
Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé ?
Juliette et Pauline, elles ont déménagé quand ?
Hello,
The lesson states the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses should be used with il faut, and notre/nos / votre/vos are never used.
In the quiz, "Il faut faire nos valises immédiatement." was listed as a correct answer to the question "How could you say "We must pack immediately." ?".
Shouldn't it be "Il faut faire ses valises immédiatement"?
Pourquoi pas je me suis matée? C'est une femme qui parle.
What is the difference between ce serait and ça serait here?
J'ajouterais « se rejoindra » en plus de « se retrouver » et « se réunir ». :-)
On test the question was to mark those words that were masculine. I marked carpe. It is both feminine and masculine. The answer was wrong. I should have gotten it marked as being correct. Trick question about word endings.
