Hello. My very first question on the forum. In fact I have a question on the use of "des" rather than marcher, but the guidance on the question led me here. I am not clear why it is not "les" danseurs being a generic dancer? Probably some grammar rule that I have missed along the way, but if someone could point me in the right direction I will do my homework!
"Qu'est-ce que c'est?" (what is that?) is one of the first things a beginner in French learns. Now that I am moving from A2 to B1, I learned that "Qu'est-ce que..." is the question form to use when the "what" is the object of the sentence. I think the verb "to be" is throwing me off. Could someone explain to me how "what" is the object of the sentence in question like "what is that?"
Are these negativ forms correct and common?
Tu ne t'es pas levé à 5 heures?
Laurent ne s'est-il pas couché à onze heures ?
Paul ne se brosse-t-il pas les dents?
Thank you!
Quizzes and tests can be taken only for a week on trial mode? I mean regular tests, not brainmap stuff, etc.
Hello! I still don’t get what this quote in the lesson means:
“Note that for regular -IR verbs, the je/tu/il/elle/on forms of le Passé Simple are exactly the same as for le Présent. The context will help you know which tense is intended in thoses cases.”
Is the point being made that “Je dormis” both carries the meaning “I slept” as well as “I sleep” or “I am sleeping?”
Note that you use à when describing going to or being in a city. And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
Does this mean that de can also be used to describe being IN a city?
I also want to say how much I have learned in the short time I have become a subscriber to Kwiziq- " Votre site est excellent !"
Why isn’t there an infinite in the above phrase ?
Why in this case there isn't an agreement? Should it be
il nous a laissés partir.
Thank you.
Hi, Ive just done the question 'What does Je lui parle mean? to which I answered I am speaking to him, and I am speaking to her (I ticked both boxes.) My answer was marked nearly right but my understanding is that lui can refer to both him or her. Can you explain why it was marked this way please.
