Bonjour,
Some of these sentences seem to have accordance, like the final "s" added to the end of apporter in "Il les leur a apportés"
How do you decide which of the object pronouns the verb is supposed to be in accordance with?
I understand that what was wanted was, « Rien ne s’est passé », and that this is correct. But is it not also correct to say « Il ne s’est rien passé »? (I think I got this alternative from the Pimsleur program.)
I am always getting this wrong and wonder if there is a simple way that people remember when to use encore/toujours for "still" - i.e. why is the correct answer for this exercise, "ils sont ENCORE jeunes" (they are still/again young) and not "ils sont TOUJOURS jeunes (they are still/always young) ?
Chers amis,
I am not native English-speaking person, but while I was reading this lesson, I made the relations of different types of “leave” in French with my native language which is Greek. In Greek we have different words, as in French, for expressing “leave”, probably there is the same in English with specialized word of meaning “leave”. Some words in English that are synonyms to leave could be for example, depart, go, abscond, exit, vamoose, go away, run off etc. So, maybe, for a native English person could be better explaining the different notions of French “leave” with the right word in English. Is that right? What do you think?
How can we say in French? Let's go boys, we are late.
In the instructions, the letters "t" and "e" on "lentemente" are crossed out but only the "e" should be crossed out (to become "lentement"); "lentemen" is not a word.
What is the conjugation of two derivatives of "venir", "parvenir" and "convenir" in Le Passé Composé?
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?
