I am very impressed with the way the text is displayed and clickable for translation and further related grammar. Very slick indeed.
Why we say au tavail not à travail ??
Will there ever be lessons about the seldom used tenses and what they are actually meant to do? Like the subjunctive imperfect, past anterior etc. I know that you don't use them in every day speech and rarely if ever in writing, but I'd like to see them in the future...maybe even in a new C2 section.
Please help me distinguish those two words, I keep making mistake when it comes to translating the word "predict" in English.
In order to say, "i prefer our houses to theirs" is it acceptable to say, "Je préfère nos maisons à les leurs ." ?
As an aside, I found it so easy to add accents in this new format. It is a super improvement indeed!
Je sais que ce n'est pas du bon français d'écrire par example les garçons à côte de qui je suis assis me parlent et que je dois écrire les garçons à côte desquels je suis assis me parlent. Dois-je de la même façon suivre le dit régle en écrivant Les garçons avec lesquels on avait joué sont partis et pas Les garçons avec qui on avait joué sont partis ?
What is the rule governing whether or not the reflexive construction is used? It seems clear with personal verbs like brushing ones teeth or cutting one’s hair, but not clear at all in the context of having sandals made.
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!
