The question was:
Et vous ________ à une soirée.And you met each other at a party.HINT: rencontrer = to meet
The answer given was vous vous êtes rencontrés however is vous vous êtes rencontrées not also a possible answer?
The lesson states "some adverbs are placed between the auxiliary verb and the past participle. These include 'encore'.
The Larousse online dictionary gives the following examples of 'encore' [3. dans des phrases négatives] which follow this rule using ne...pas ne...rien ne...jamais.
je n'ai pas encore fini I haven't finished yet vous n'avez encore rien vu ! you haven't seen anything yet !je n'avais encore jamais vu ça ! I'd never seen anything like it before !
My question is, why is 'encore' placed after 'pas' but before rien and before jamais?
Thank You
The writing challenge "A few days in Dordogne" expected "ferme" for "farmhouse" and rejected "maison de ferme".
Why is that?
Bonjour,
I'm curious to learn why 'brun' is an unacceptable translation of 'brown' (as applied to hair colour), in favour of 'marron' which is just a particular shade of brown.
Elle veut que son français soit parfait !
English translation here is: She wants her french to be perfect!
This is confusing: if Le Subjonctif has 2 different subjects - then is she wanting her own french to be perfect (which would not be Subjonctif)or someone else's (like her daugthter's or her female friend or the professor wants the student's french to be perfect)?
