I write a daily journal in French and was just trying to write that I miss doing something. I cannot decide whether that has to be manquer à or manquer de. I have been lacking the time to do it, which makes me think manquer de. But I have been missing doing the activity in an emotional sense. I really wish that I could do it just as I really wish that it weren't winter or that I could go back to a certain place.
Can someone help me out and tell me which one to use? Manquer à and de is one of those things I haven't fully mastered when I was A2, I'm afraid.
3. Nous donne-t-il des billets d'avion ?
Can déranger be used instead of embêter
If I rewrite to "il lui reste des croissant du weekend", does this mean he have some croissants left from the weekend?
Bonjour Madame Cécile,
In the lesson, there are two sentences as-
“Je suis en classe.” And “Je suis dans la classe.” I am unable to understand the difference in both of them as how the first is a general statement and the second is for a specific location . Please expain the reason in a little detail. I will be really grateful.
Merci d’avance.
(Madame, I have gone through the discussions but am still perplexed.)
Bonjour Madame Cécile,
In the exercise on passé composé vs imparfait, I am stuck on the last line .
It reads - “Elle a souri et elle a dit qu’elle nous pardonnait . Nous n’avons jamais oublié cette leçon.”
Here , why does ‘pardonner’ take imparfait and not passé composé ?
Also why does ‘oublier’ take passé composé and not imparfait ?
Please give the grammatical reasons for the same.
Merci d’avance.
