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.
I was asked to write "she's going to hurt him" and I answered "Elle va faire mal a lui" (accent on a). This was scored incorrect, with a proper answer of "Elle va lui faire du mal". Given that there was no way for me to know whether whe was going to hurt him physically or emotionally, I believe my answer was correct. If not, why?
I know they differ in formality, but they have the same basic meaning of 'please'. Much confusion!
J'ajouterais Agnès Varda et Chantal Akerman à cette liste. Je pense qu'elles sont Belges mais elles encore sont formidables. Catherine Breillat est provocatrice mais ses films sont souvent excellents.
I want to know all possible answers for that question
<< Mais en 1969, André Malraux le classera enfin au titre des monuments historiques >>
I'm interested in the use of the future tense for classer here. I can't find any rule about it anywhere.
Clearly this event took place in the past. Is this a mistake ? Shouldn't this have been in the passé simple to give it a literary/formal feeling ? i.e. classa
<< Mais en 1969, André Malraux le classa enfin au titre des monuments historiques >>
Any thoughts welcome. Thanks, Paul.
