When ‘Tu aides moi’ becomes ‘aide-moi’, the ‘s’ in the verb ‘aide’ is lost, as in the other example sentences. Does that mean that in affirmative imperative sentences the verb is conjugated in the ‘il/elle/on’ form?
Thank you!
Why does sortis have an "s" - I understand that être verbs will agree with subject but this is "on" - I did not think that this was treated at plural "nous"
In the last sentence, the speaker says he can't eat salad without bread and "salad" is expressed as "de salade." Shouldn't it be "de la salade?"
I am using this as review but, maybe with a disclaimer you should offer at a slow and a native speed. I think that peoples ears and brains need to learn that language at native speed. Some overwhelming noncomprehension to help people realize how real language acquisition works. Maybe you do this for subscribers or something and I'm not too familiar with your services yet
I can use the word( professeur) as masculine and feminine.
Which form is correct
A) " Il prend jamais le train"
or B) " Il ne prend jamais le train."?
is there a trick to find the gender of nouns without knowing it beforehand ?
The rule with c'est vs il/elle is that you are speaking of a specific item. In this lesson one of the examples doesn't appear to follow that rule:
The lesson translates "Is it a second-hand car?- No, it's new." to "C'est une voiture d'occasion? - Non, elle est neuve."
Why doesn't the question use Elle instead of C'est? They are talking about a specific car--i.e. the one purchased by the speaker.
