Hi dear French learners,
Would you mind helping me understand which translation is correct between the Italic and Bold part of the target text?
Part of the reason for that could be the large number of Americans who aren't accustomed to taking regular vacations, and who therefore have not developed an effective strategy for readjusting to their routines when they do. According to the 2017 State of American Vacation study, 54 percent of Americans left unused vacation time on the table in 2016, while 43 percent of employees said that their reason for opting out of vacation was the “the mountain of work” they’d have upon their return.
Une des raisons pourrait être le grand nombre d'Américains or Cela pourrait s’expliquer en partie par le grand nombre d’Américains qui ne sont pas habitués à prendre des vacances régulières et qui n'ont donc pas élaboré de stratégie efficace pour se réadapter à leurs routines lorsqu'ils le font. Selon l'étude menée en 2017 sur l'état des vacances en Amérique or Selon l’étude sur l’état des vacances aux États-Unis de 2017, 54 % des Américains ont laissé du temps de vacances inutilisé sur la table en 2016, tandis que 43 % des employés ont dit que leur raison de se retirer des vacances était la « montagne de travail » qu’Ils auraient à leur retour.
Thank you.
In a lot of the French sentences on Kwiziq, the stress sounds like it is on an odd part of the sentence and I can't figure out the pattern. For example, in "Tu te laves les mains?" above, the word laves is stressed in the recording. And the voice doesn't rise at the end like I would expect for a question. Is that how the question would really be spoken in French? Is there a section here that explains which parts of a sentence are normally stressed?
I thought plural countries were aux so should it be 'aux Pays De Galles' instead of 'au Pays De Galles' or does Pays De Galles count as singular since it means Wales.
Salut!
I would like to suggest to please include conjugaison of sentir in this lesson, since it's about sentir in the first place. Thanks!
i get it wrong every time, moneu is countable surely?
a few is sometimes qielque and sometimes peu, i seem to have a mental block with this, even comments here not making it clear. any one got a very basic explaination please? or a definition of if something is countable, surely everything can be counted
In the two examples above, the expression ''They can't believe'' is translated as Ils n'arrivent pas a croire. I believe it could also be translated as Ils ne peuvent pas croire. If so, is there a preference in spoken French?
