Is "il est parlé couramment" C1-level French grammar? (La Voix Passive Forming La Voix Passive with simple tenses in French (French Passive Voice))
I understand what it means, but if C1 why is it in an A2 grammar lesson?
I don’t understand the use of the reflexive ‘se connaître’ and the pronoun ‘y’ in the phrase “je m’y connais un peu en moteurs”. Can someone explain these 2 points, or is it just an expression.
(I answered “Je connais un peu les moteurs” for “I know a bit about engines”. Would this be an acceptable alternative?)
is this correct - when you say to use the future of to drive. surely it is the infinitive ?
Am i understanding the lesson correctly by following the below example for the following translation?
English: How can I not go? Here, i'm intending to mean the sense that I don't want to go, am searching for a reason to not go, but i need to go or am required to go, etc.
Would that be: comment puis-je ne pas aller ?
Merci!
In one quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "five thirty AM" I wrote "cinq heures trente" assuming the 24 hour clock. This was apparently wrong because apparently we were talking about a 12 hour clock.
In the very next quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "ten minutes to seven AM" so I wrote "sept heures moins dix du matin" which was also wrong because we were now apparently talking about the 24 hour clock (not apparently for any other reason).
Would it be possible to tell us whether we were talking about 12 or 24 hours on the clock?
My natural presumption is for 24 unless otherwise specified.
