Please if you can help me out to understand where to put de+infinitive. I am so confused.
Par example- laissez-moi de penser pourquoi de ici ?
C’est mon rêve de travailler à l’étranger. Why I putted de here I can simply write c’est mon rêve travailler.
Et je sais que je dois pratiquer. Why here it’s not de after pratiquer?
Please if you can share me the lesson of this I have tried to search a lot but I am not able to understand properly where to put de+infinitive and where not.
Thank You :)
Recently I came across " Qu'est-ce qui ce passe ?" and was informed it was a standard expression in French. I would like to know more about this expression (and any other related ones). A search of Kwiziq failed to come up with it. Merci d'avance, Andrea
Prison seems like a pretty specific place... so why 'en' instead of 'dans la'?
I find the use of the "X" here somewhat confusing. Is it standing in for "any consonant"? Or rather, any consonant except for "t" and "l"? If so, why does the first example show "compléter" as an example of a "eXer" verb? There seem to be two other ways of expressing this "any consonant" stand in on this site. I find "(-)" is used in some lessons, and "*" is used in others. None of the three are explained anywhere that I could find.
This seems needlessly confusing to me.
I just discovered this site and am very impressed otherwise.
Why does 'I love to dance' translate as J'aime beaucoup', whereas 'I love to shine' is simply 'J'aime'? How do we know when the speaker really likes something when its only implied? I have seen the unspoken 'beaucoup' in other exersizes as well.
