Ça veut dire quoi la phrase "pour allumer y a du monde, mais pour éteindre le feu y a plus personne?" C'est un peu bizarre!
“Vous êtes vendeues “
I chose Grace and Tom speaking but my answer was wrong the correct one was Grace and Anna.Can anyone explain why since vous is to address both gender.Many thanks.
According to some text books the verb espérer is not used in the subjunctive, only in the negative sense eg je n’espere pas que .... is this correct, and if not is this a rare occurrence? Thanks so much in advance and for having such a great learning platform for French. Mark
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?)
pourquoi est incroyable devant la vue
I know certain kinds of weather are expressed with a direct verb, like:
* il pleut
* il neige
* il tonne
But there seems to be multiple ways of describing other kinds of weather, like "it's sunny." I've heard:
* il y a du soleil (which is the example in this lesson)
but also:
* c'est ensoleillé
I've heard both:
* il y a des nuages
as well as:
* c’est nuageux
Are all these versions correct? Is one preferred or in more common use than the other?Thanks!
