The answer given was boissons fraîches. Is boissons froides wrong??
As a French major studying literature, it made sense to learn passé simple. But now, over 40 years later and speaking French as a tourist, I have no need for it. I’ve really enjoyed Lawless French until I got to level c and so many questions on passé simple! I’d rather learn helpful vocabulary and expressions/idioms than advanced verb conjugations. Love, the site, but not passé simple!
Just read all the other comments—glad I’m not the only one who’s not keen on passé simple.
"Comme des mots-clic" but " des hashtags en tant que" Why not "comme des hashtags"?
Writing challenge c1 camping: Although she had already been camping in this forest for a week.
Bien qu 'elle campe déjà dans cette forêt depuis une semaine.
I understand that bien que triggers the subjective and confirming my assumption that campe is used because she was still camping at the time, but not sure why the subjective passé is also right. Does already effect the tense in this case.
Ok, so "Comment cela se fait-il?" by itself is the formal way of saying "How come?"
"Comment cela se fait-il que..." is the formal way of saying "How come...?" but since it is redundant the cela is often dropped.
"Comment se fait-il?" is never said by itself.
Have I understood correctly?
My answer is milliers d'
but somehow its not correct. It should be mille.
deux mille euros
deux milliers d'euros
both are correct, right? How come my answer is right?
If faire du cheval means "I'm horseback riding", who would one say "I am taking horseback riding lessons"?
