Bonjour,
Recently, I saw a video by a French prof saying that we use l'indicatif after the pronom relatif "que" in "comment ça se fait que" for an informal conversation.
Is it correct?
Thank you very much for your response!!!
Do either or both of these always imply one of either passing by without entering a place vs passing by and entering. Some of the examples seem to indicate the former whereas others (la pharmacie par exemple) seem to imply the latter.
thank you
Why is j'ai envie not followed by du or de la with food items, as is usually the case.
This is not a full sentence. ‘How far does she live?’ How far does she live from what?
Is it correct to write "Je te pense" or to write "je pense à toi" ?
I suspect that the former could be misunderstood that the indirect object pronoun "te" might represent the preposition "de" and therefore change the intended meaning?
I'm thinking that we only use the stressed / tonic pronouns with the third person?
Can someone clear this matter up for me, please?
Would you pls explain the differences and nuances of the use of il faut que +subjunctive and devour + the infinitive. When is it better to use one vs the other?
où on a degouté des specialities lyonnaises/ où on dégoutait des specialities lyonnaises (where we enjoyed Lyonnaise specialities)
I don't understand why this can't be in the imparfait as there's no end time. Is it passé composé because it is NOW finished? It seems like this is something that happened over a period of time in the past, not quickly, so I used imparfait.
