Quelle est la différence entre “Je vais” et “Je m’en vais”?
Could the postman say “je fais un boulot important”?
Isn’t the pronunciation rather è than é, since ai says è, such as in j’ai and j’aime.
Une nouvelle leçon ! je l’aime bien. J'ai une question. Est-ce possible de changer l’ordre de mots dans une telle façon ? Au lieu de dire « qui dort le moins », on peut dire « qui le moins dort « ? J’ai constaté que l’ordre de mots dans les cas similaires est parfois l’inverse que l’anglais. Je ne sais pas si c’est possible dans ce cas. Merci d’avance et bonne journée.
OK, let me see if I have this straight:
"Qui" means "who" ( a subject).
"Que" means "what" (an object).
"Qui est-ce que" means "whom" (an object).
"Qu'est-ce qui" means "what" (a subject).
Even if I have it right (and I'm not at all sure about that), it's totally confusing. If "qui" means "who," why is it in a phrase that means "what"?
Thanks for any clarification!
When doing an A1 exercise, Kwizbot translates 'On Monday I go snorkelling', and 'on Tuesday Hugo and I rent a jet ski', with "le lundi....." and "le mardi...." . Surely this is inconsistent with the rule given in the notes, where using the definite article imp[lies every Monday, or habitually on Tuesdays ???? I did not use the definite article precisely because I interpret this sentence to mean the events were one time only, with reference to next Monday and next Tuesday??
At 1:04 in the video, it shows "tu parle à Marie". Isn't "parler" conjugated "tu parles" in 2nd person singular?
