We are always told that depuis is always used with present tense.
1. J‘habite en France depuis 6 ans…. Here depuis is being used with present tense.
2. Quand j’avais l’opportunité de choisir la langue à l’école, mon choix était fait depuis longstemps…… here we are using imparfait with depuis.
Pls explain
In the example they sound exactly the same. I know you are going to say that context will let me know if it is "hers" or "theirs" but when you are not proficient it can be quite confusing, n'est-ce pas?
From what i gather "Un vieux parchemin" would be correct. Why is "Un extrêmement vieux parchemin" incorrect? Thank you.
Bonjour Madame,
In the last line of the passage which reads “Ils viendront nous accueillir les bras grand ouverts.” The English translation suggests ‘They will come to welcome us with their arms wide open.’
Why doesn’t the French sentence use ‘avec’ and ‘leur’ unlike the English translation as given in the hint ?
Please clarify the grammatical reason behind it.
Merci d’avance !
all the other fruits are in their plural form
