The monster revealed sharp white canines. I had to guess, wrong, since I had no idea nor could I find it anywhere online whether canines is masc or fem. What’s a good source for checking word gender when it’s not obvious? The lesson doesn’t address this of course. Thanks.
This is not a full sentence. ‘How far does she live?’ How far does she live from what?
Bonjour Aurélie
I was doing an exercise that asked me to choose between pronom relatif simple or composé. I'm confused which one to use here.
La question........ j'aimerais une réponse est la suivante : où allons-nous ?
can I use que here?
In the writing challenge "Les noces d'or de mes grands-parents" the phrase "Et ce qu'ils se sont déclaré était tellement émouvant" appears. Why is there no plural agreement on the verb "déclaré "?
It sees to be the same case as this example in the lesson "Conjugate reflexive verbs (+être) in Le Passé Composé (conversational past)":
Elles se sont disputées = They had an argument.
Is it because the verb has an object which precedes it and the rule of agreement with a prior object takes precedence over the rule of agreement with the subject?
Something like case 3 1/2 here:https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/agreement-with-pronominal-verbs/
Ma mère est bien. Mais je crois que mon père est généralement mieux que ma mère, parce qu’il a une bonne disposition.
Vous nagez très bien. En fait, je pense que vous nagez peut-être mieux que tous les autres. Vous nagez le mieux, il n’y a aucune question à propos de ça.
Merci d'avance.
For one of the kwiz questions it asked what the translation of "we don't see anything" is. I answered "Nous ne voyons rien" but the correct answer is "Nous ne voyons personne". Was my answer wrong? I thought the second sentence would mean "we don't see anyone"
I am confused about the difference between c'est and il y a. I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that il y a was used for general things (il y a un tour), but c'est used for specific things (c'est le tour Eiffel). Where am I going wrong?
Why is the "best answer" given as suer but the final para uses transpirer?
