The correct kwiz answers indicate "Bien sûr qu'on se déteste!" translates to both "Of course we hate each other!" and "Of course we hate ourselves!"
These English translations have different meanings -- i.e., "I hate you and you hate me" versus "I hate myself and you hate yourself."
My question: does the French sentence also imply these two distinctly different meanings?
Why does the quiz mark my answer wrong when i choose: j'ai donné mon ordinateur ancien à la associe....it says correct option is '...mon ancien ordinateur...' but wouldn't that mean 'the last/previous computer that i owned' as per the rule described ?
Is this an exception as in French there are so many exceptions to a rule :( ?
Or is it a mistake in the quiz ? Please clarify . Thanks
What is wrong with merci pour votre attention meaning thanks for listening? I thought this was widely used. Thanks.
Bonjour les gars et experts
Dans la frase suivant? 'ils se sont dit que', pourquoi il n y a pas d'agreement entre 'être' et 'dire'?
Je pense que 'ils se sont' est plural, donc 'dit' devrait s'écrire 'dits' avec un s, n'est pas?
I am struggling a bit with the use of these, for example "You need a new bike" I would have thought either correct but the quiz says only besoin de is correct. Have tried reading other threads but none the wiser.
Why prèsent is used after pendant que why not futur as per lesson we should use futur after pendant que and quand
I thought the marking was a bit odd as I have underlined the words I got wrong and one was a verb avertir I used in lieu of prèvenir?
- Bonjour Sandra ! J'ai besoin de ton aide. - Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ? - Je dois partir(quitter) à midi parce que ma fille est malade. Est-ce que tu peux prévenir(avertir) Jean-Pierre ? - Pas de problème ! J'ai une réunion avec lui avant mon déjeuner avec Marielle. - Merci beaucoup ! Lucie a de la fièvre et je suis un peu inquiète. - Je comprends. À demain !If I am recalling something from the past, do I need to use PC or imparfait?
For eg: I got down from the train that day.
Je me suis descendu du train ca jour
OR
Je descendais du train ca jour?
Which one is correct?
