Personal pronouns and confusionsHi Dear Kwiziq,
I am confused when it comes to translate the personal pronouns "you" into French.
As I know, in French, "you" refers to "vous" like "You all" or the formal "vous".
And French adjectives changes in function of the gender and number. In the translation below, my confusion are in red, would you mind telling me if my translation is correct?
You've just
returned home from vacation — sun-kissed and
blissed out — but the moment you open your inbox or spot the pile of
mail that accumulated in your absence, you’re hit with a crippling sense of anxiety.
Vous revenez tout juste des vacances, bronzé et content, mais dès l'instant où vous ouvrez
votre boîte de réception ou que vous apercevez le tas de courrier qui s’est
accumulé en votre absence, vous êtes frappé par un sentiment
d’anxiété paralysant.
Is there a chance that the Kwiz(es) could be more varied, challenging, and taken more frequently within the specific subject areas, say, after 24 hours of taking the last Kwiz ? ( I hope I am posting this in the right place and apologize if I am not :-)
Thank you,
Colleen
What is the difference in usage with cependant, alors que, pourtant, et en revanche?
Bonjour, j'ai répondu à une question où je devais transformer l'affirmation suivante "Marie vient demain" en une question en utilisant ''n'est-ce pas ?". Ma réponse "Marie vient-elle demain, n'est-ce pas ?" a été jugée fausse, mais je n'ai pas compris pourquoi je ne peux pas utiliser l'inversion dans ce cas. Je vous remercie d'avance!
In the first sentence it is votre frere andthe answer is vôtre frere???
Someone to help me solving this? I need to answear today and i tried a lot of French dictionaries and didn't get this.
