It's said "Je suis assis entre Léa et Tim" above.
Firstly; Is there a present continuous form in french?
And why do we use "être" in this sentence?
On a recent quiz - "Nous quittons Londres." - was marked correct, while, "Nous quittons de Londres." Was marked incorrect. -- While the lesson was clear as to why "Nous partons de Londres" was the only correct answer, it was unclear on the distinction for the verb quitter. When I read other grammatically correct phrases as " Il a quitté de son plein gré." & "Il a quitté de son poste," where quitter is used as a direct transitive verb I get more confused. What makes the only correct usage in this case -- "Nous quittons Londres" - indirect??
Merci beaucoup!
Hello just a general observation/suggestion, sometimes a lesson is recommended by the bot but then we can't take the mini quiz because we already took it recently. So probably the bot should have recommended other lessons instead?
Instead of 'si ça avait été mes œufs' could you say 'si cela avait été mes œufs' - or would that be too formal ?
I believe the je form of the conditional of préférer is je préférerais, not je préfèrerais as in the text. Am I correct ?
