Ex) Il est monté la tour Eiffel.
Il l'est monté or Il l'est montée?
Will this query ever be addressed or am I just not understanding the subtleties of 'leaving'?
The question is: How would you say "They are leaving soon"
From the list of multiple choice answers, I chose only one option: Ils partent bientôt
I am flagged as 'nearly correct' for not choosing : Ils sortent bientôt as well.
It is my understanding from everything I've read in the lesson and via the responses that "sortir" only means 'leaving' when used with 'de'.
Hello, I was thinking whether the same rule applies to this expression above?
Also, if you're talking about an already finished action, (for example: you hadn't lived somewhere in a long time, but now you started living there) would you modify the verb in the second part of the sentence (for example, "...que je n'ai pas habité" or "...que je n'habite pas") or the "fait" itself, in the first part (ex: ça faisait, ça a fait, etc) or maybe both? I was thinking about it, and I don't know which one is to use and in which case.
Thank you in advance for clarifying
This is a number written in French: "78,005". How would it be expressed in English?
In this question, the number is already written as english...and not french. Just thought you should know, because I got the question wrong.
