This was a sentence in the lesson: Ce soir-là, quelque chose d'extraordinaire se produisit.
Why is it not "quelque chose extraordinaire"? Why is it "d'extraordinaire?"
Thanks for the explanation!
Pourquoi utilise-t-on le singulier pour traduire "in the mountains" mais le pluriel pour traduire "in the Alpes" alors que les deux sont pluriels en anglais?
Just commenting again :
I wasn’t phased by the speed of this dictation per say, but I missed out on a couple of words due to the liaison in spoken French and not fully understanding what was being said. If i’d thought more about the English translation i’d have got one of them. I think it’s beneficial to hear the language spoken at normal speed by a native speaker, it sharpens the ear.
The question I'm looking at says "Tu ne veux pas savoir ________ je pense de ton costume" and the correct answer indicated is "ce que." However, because it's "... _______ je pense DE" shouldn't it be "ce dont?"
Similar examples would be:
"Tu sais ce dont je suis capable."
"C'est ce dont j'ai peur."
"Je ne sais pas à quoi tu penses." (This is 'penser à' instead of 'penser de')
What am I missing here?
I would like to go back and improve A1. My score is currently 77%. How do I get it to have me review what I do not know well, which I thought was the whole point of the system.
Currently 7 of the 10 topics it gives me I have over 90%, and five of those are over 97%. These are not the topics I need to improve! I have no shortage of topics with lower scores in A1, obviously, with a 77% average in A1.
I am just clicking the "Test now" button next to A1.
What is the conjugation of two derivatives of "venir", "parvenir" and "convenir" in Le Passé Composé?
Salut !
Dans ce cas ci-dessous, l'emploi de « en » ( Il n'en faut ) est-il correct ?
Je cherche une guitare usagée. Il n'en faut pas être de haute qualité, mais qu'il soit en bon état. C'est pour apprendre à jouer.
Dans la dernière phrase « C'est pour apprendre à jouer. » est-il possible d'utiliser « en » « Y » ou « la / l' » pour faire mention à la guitare ? Si oui, est-il mieux de l'ajouter selon l'usage normal ?
Merci !
