Some of the examples and test answers of used to + reflexive verb use avoir l'habitude de and some dont. I cannot find any explanation for this.
Would there be a difference in meaning between using avoir vs. ètre when saying I’m late/early? The English translations show the exact meaning. So is it ok if someone were to use ONLY avoir OR être?
In English there may be a difference in meaning between "You went out even though I wasn't ok with it" and "You went out even though I'm not ok with it"; I might have changed my mind in the interim: "You went out even though I wasn't ok with it [, but now I am ok with it]." Wouldn't this second sense require the imperfect rather than the subjunctive in modern French: "... bien que je n'étais pas d'accord"?
I'm guessing example 1 uses the imparfait since it's a "continuing action", but isn't example 2 also a "continuing action" even with the fullstop separating the two?
Un identifiant- has a voice overlay at the start.
Also suggest words for : an attachment, chat, inbox, hashtag, mailing list, etc be added.
At the end, could you say "Ça fait dix ans que je suis un prof" ?
I answered the question correctly but it was marked wrong. I paid very close attention to the answer.
Presumably ‘soi-même’ can also be used for ‘itself’ ?
