bien que in Larousse vs. CollinsMy question is about bien que. Sorry if this the wrong place to bring it up, but Jameson brought it up.
I had thought that bien que was a trigger for the subjonctive.
I went to Larousse to look at bien que:
https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais-anglais/bien/9074
bien que
locution conjonctive
despite the fact that, although, though
bien que malade, il a tenu à y aller although he was ill, he insisted on going
NOT the subjonctive
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/french-english/bien-que
bien que CONJONCTION
although
Il fait assez chaud bien qu’il n’y ait pas de soleil. It’s quite warm although there’s no sun. subjonctive
So, please can someone explain this to me?
"J'ai fait mal à Olive hier quand je lui ai marché sur le pied." While I'm slowly getting the hang of faire mal à versus faire du mal...why is LUI in the example above?
The group à + [people] becomes simply their matching indirect pronoun, as follows:
Don’t certain verbs require a tonic (stress) pronoun after à, rather than the indirect object pronoun before the verb ?
For example - "Je pense à vous" "Tu dois faire attention à lui"
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.
hello I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT THE MAIN PROBLEM REGARDING LISTENING
PROCESS IS WE CANNOT MOVE THE PLAYING LINE SUCH AS BACK AND FORWARD PLEASE CORRECT IT
Hello!
Would someone tell me the correct way to pronounce the following:
Je voudrais une verre de vin blanc.
I am trying to understand if I should push the "s" of voudrais into the "une".
Almost reluctant to ask this question based on the number of comments and confusion on this topic but here goes…….
The question was to write:
“I had my hair brushed”
HINT: se faire brosser les cheveux = to have one’s hair brushed
In the comments, Cécile writes:
You will use ‘se faire faire quelque chose mostly when you are having something done by someone else.
So on that basis, as the question implies that someone else brushed my hair, I answered :
“Je me suis fait faire brosser les cheveux".
However, the correct answer is :
"Je me suis fait brosser les cheveux".
Could someone explain why I’m wrong?
If canadian in first example is an adjective, what is it in the second? Coz it seems also adjective to me.
Thanx.
