Is "de la" in this sentence partitif?
Can we also translate it to "c'est la même couleur"?
I understand, when I remember, how to use ‘au cas où’.
However, why can’t you use ‘il me faudrait’ after it, rather than ‘je devrais’. Both are in the conditional tense, and both mean (I think) ‘I must’.
Anyone know please?
Here’s the relevant question, a translation of ‘in case I have to go out again’, which was marked as wrong: au cas où il me faudrait ressortir
The correct answer for the question: Il ________ repassé chez toi hier soir.
He passed by yours again yesterday evening.Is being given as "est". However there is no preposition before "chez toi". Is the "par" to be assumed ?
In my dictionary, the verb, sail, is translated as "naviguer" or "faire de la voile". The latter, which I used in the first sentence, was accepted. I believe that "faire de la voile" was not accepted in the second sentence nor in the last sentence of this exercise. Is there a distinction that I am missing or is it just a question of the use of variation in this paragraph?
I was asked to write "she's going to hurt him" and I answered "Elle va faire mal a lui" (accent on a). This was scored incorrect, with a proper answer of "Elle va lui faire du mal". Given that there was no way for me to know whether whe was going to hurt him physically or emotionally, I believe my answer was correct. If not, why?
For the question: Nous voyagions souvent en été . To me this reads as “we often used to travel in the summer” if it was the imparfait. But the translation says “we traveled often in the summer”.
I make this out to be the passé composé which should be nous avons souvent voyagé en été
Help!
Ex. from above: Ils ont réussi à la convaincre. Subject They/verb succeeded - requires preposition à before infinitive verb convaincre to convince?
I am wondering why "la" direct object is used here instead of "lui" please? Merci!
