There is a sentence " Ma mère nous a récompensés pour __nous être comportés______ correctement." in the tests for this lesson.
Where do you place adverbs with the passive voice verb. The placement of "correctement" at the end could be justified because it is a "long" adverb. But it also does modify the verb "se comporter". Where would an adverb like "bien" go?
Are we to translate "smells good" or "Smells the rose?"
By the time you are ready he will be gone already sounds very Jewish in English, already. The native speaker would say he will already be gone.
Tu es arrivé avant que je n'aie fini mes devoirs.You arrived before I finished my homework
Is there a way of interpreting this to get the sense of the subjunctive mood?
Bonjour, je ne suis pas sûr qu'on dit j'ai retourné la tête OU je me suis retourné(e) la tête...?!
Ou peut-on utiliser les deux ?
In other questions to watch a film is regarder. Why is to have seen a film voir, as opposed to have watched? Are btye interchageable or not?
HI,
I have been reading the responses to the questions below. Am I correct to assume that the way to use the indefinite articles with negation is if it's a general statement?
For example.
J'aime ni le café ni le thé
Je veux ni fromage ni oignon
Merci
Nicole
In the third to last sentence, "puis j'enchaînerai avec quelques séries d'abdos," is "entraînerai" the correct verb? It means to work out or be in training so it seems to me it would be more appropriate here. Enchaînerai means to "be linked", in this context, does that mean to "follow or continue with"? Thanks.
