Hi. Please could you tell me what 'le reblochon' means? I couldn't find a translation for this. Also, what tense is 'repartissez' please?
In English, the word 'between' is used when there is a choice between two items. If the choice is more than two, the word 'among' is used. Is this different in French? Or in this case, does 'entre' have the same meaning as 'among'. Merci!
This is perhaps a bit off topic since it isn't about the French grammar point at hand, but the tip regarding the English construction is inaccurate. It says "Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...)". I know there are people who think this is a real rule, but it isn't how anyone actually speaks, and many dictionaries (e.g. Meriam-Webster's) acknowledge the use of object pronouns here.
Should it not be “Pour cet après-midi” ?
In the question "I went back to see her." I replied J'ai retourné la voir. Wrong.
Whenever I check on some verb sites for the passé composé for Retourner it gives me Avoir as the auxiliary. How do I determine when this type of verb uses être or when it uses avoir?
As per dictionary the word magasin is masculine.. so why are we saying here retirer en magasin?
"The main difference with qu'est-ce que is that this alternative form is never followed by the inverted form when using subject pronouns: " To reword, does this mean that 'qu'est-ce que' cannot be followed by an inversion?
I still don't understand whey, "Qu'est-ce que le fois gras," Is not an acceptable way of saying "What is?" QUE (what) est-ce (is it) le fois gras.
Why is it any less acceptable than "Qu'est-ce que c'est que" The explanations just don't make sense to me. Could you clarify?
