Hi, so i'm reading exercises du style and there´s the following phrase: l'autobus est arrivé. Alors j'ai monté dedans. Wouldn't the être variant be appropriate here?
Bonjour,
Can I ask why the adjective in Maurice est un professeur excellent comes after the noun, while Vous êtes un mauvais avocat comes before? Maurice est un professeur excellent doesn't fall within the 5 categories listed in this lesson- https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/revision/grammar/adjectives-usually-go-after-nouns-positions-of-adjectives
Merci!
what does this have to do with the way you pronounce the words in french? wouldn't you just say them the way you would in English
Bonjour
Why is anime not correct? What is the difference in use of anime with respect to vivant?
Merci
Are there any specifications in futur proche. For example, in passé compose when conjugated with être, if the sujet is feminin then we have to add an “e” to the passé form of the verb
I know there's also a 'ne' littéraire where you can indicate negation while dropping 'pas'. This applies exclusively for a short list of verbs, like pouvoir.
If I were to see a sentence like "J'ai peur qu'il ne puisse le faire", would the 'ne' here be a 'ne' expletif or a 'ne' littéraire? In other words, am I afraid that he can do it or that he cannot do it?
We have “Non, désolée, je ne peux pas…”.
Do we get the female version because the speaker is female and it’s really an abbr. of “Je suis désolée”? If the speaker was a man would we get “Non, désolé, je ne peux pas…”?
Why do we say "J'adore la France" but "J'aime Paris" ? Why dont we need to add "le" before "Paris"?
