What are the different meanings of emmener and amener?
I am wondering why in a lesson of monter dans and descendre de that a quiz question is using débarque? Thanks. (Rose débarque du bateau" means:)
Is it correct that "du" in this very specific case is contracted to " d' " in front of a vowel, rather than the regular "d l' "?
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 think it would be useful pedagogically to tie faire exprès de to the english express in the sense of express intent
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!
Bonjour Madame,
In the sentence from the lesson "Il jouait au football quand il était petit." Should the translation not be as-
"He used to play football when he was young."(in place of played)
Please explain the reason.
Merci d'avance
The lesson notes an exception for naître (correctly) and for apparaître. It does not clearly state the exception for apparaître - although I note in discussion it has been mentioned it is because it also conjugates with être in passé composé. As I understand it, and checking other verb conjugation sites, this is correct but not what is shown on the verb conjugation site of Lawless French https://www.lawlessfrench.com/verb-conjugations/apparaitre/
