Weekend workout: Trouble on the way to holidayIn that exercise there is one sentence whose English doesn't quite jibe with me:
-- The kids finished the ones we'd brought.
I don't think the use of past perfect tense here corresponds to what you would actually use in English. You'd be more likely to hear:
-- The kids finished the ones we brought.
But I realize that in French you would actually use le plus-que-parfait:
-- Les enfants ont finis celles que nous avions emportées.
As it stands, the English sounds a bit off but it gives a strong hint as to which tense to use in the French version. Still, I would use imperfect in English and, if necessary, provide a hint for the French.
What do the professionals think?
bonjour,
when would you use tous les jours, toujours and tout les jours? Do they all mean the same thing?
Merci!
One of the test questions reads “Il les a tous lus”. I don’t understand why it is not “Il les a tous lu”. Thanks
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 :)
What do we add before the noun of the day? For example, Je travaille le lundi/ en lundi/ à lundi?
So when does one use mille and milliers de? Are they interchangeable?

Is this right
Les nouveaux voisins sont arrives.
Les nouvelles voisines sont arrives.
Sorry I can't work the accent for arrives.
