You're washing yourself! (i.e. You do it on your own!)
I thought when it means on your own it is 'tout seul'. Is this phrase idiomatic, and doesn't necessary mean 'washing'? I am confused with i.e. you do it on your own. For example, can I use this phrase to say a kid baked a cake on his own?
Why is this sentence je ferai parvenir le dossier à Jean dès que possible put the prounoun lui before ferai?
But Tuesday devrais prêter attention when ce qu'il dit put the pronoun between devrais and prêter?
Thanks for helping
In the example “il se fatigua vite mais ils ne fatiguèrent qu’à la fin de la journée” is there a reason why the verb is reflexive in the first phrase, but not in the second?
One of the quiz items is "Je ferais n'importe quoi par amour." Why is "par" used here instead of "pour"?
Bonjour,
I'm curious to learn why 'brun' is an unacceptable translation of 'brown' (as applied to hair colour), in favour of 'marron' which is just a particular shade of brown.
Bonjour,
Shouldn't the phrase "meme si je sais que c'est le repas le plus important de la journee" be "meme si je sais qu'il est le repas le plus important de la journee" because we are referring to something specific? (breakfast)
Merci.
My dictionaries show les soldes as masculine. Is either correct?
bonjour,
wouldnt the phrase je vais skier translate to "im going to ski" and not I go skiing?
Wouldnt you say en hiver, je fait du skie or something like that?
merci!
