In English if there are two children then he or she is the elder not the eldest.
Eldest is used when there are three or more.
Hi, I'm a bit confused if we can use "bon" for a person?
It's from this sentence [Il est très bon] when the "il" refers to Tom Cruise .
Appreciate your help, thanks!
Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."
Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)
I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".
My question is about putting "Marie caressait son chat" into the La Voix Passive. I have read Skylar's comment and the answers to her question. I agree with Ron, that "Le chat de Marie..." resolves the ambiguity of whose cat it is. So, I wrote: "Le chat de Marie etait caressait par elle" which was marked wrong. Could someone explain why this is wrong?
Je vous remercie beaucoup !
In one of the A2 tests, I see « Il faut toujours regarder devant soi. » and « Il faut toujours essayer soi-même avant de juger. » When do you use soi vs soi-même? I keep getting docked for choosing soi-même in the first sentence.
Pourquoi “de” dans le phrase Et quant au dessert, attendez de voir la surprise que je vous ai préparée !“
Est-ce que quelqu’un peut me donner d’autres exemples?
Bonjour, I was wondering the difference between when you would use "prendre soin de" and "s'occuper de". So are these both valid and are they interchangable: Je prends soin de ma jardin & Je m’occupe du jardin
Merci beaucoup
Ce film nous ________.We liked that film.I don't know if I am just getting confused, but would have thought avons plu would be correct in this question? instead of the a plu which was given
I noted in another quiz that famous people (at Cannes) were either "célèbré" or "connu". Would "fameuse" not work for them? Thanks!
