Tôt is wrong to say you are early today? Why?
I said "donc on est allé voir un film". Would that be OK too?
L’imparfait - what a minefield ! It’s not a question, but i’ve found that when it’s used to express habits or repeated actions more sense is made in the English when ‘would’ is used over ‘used to’ - which indeed you’ve noted in your lesson. This has helped me understand its use in French.
So a sentence like “Je lisais tous les jours” could be translated as “I would / used to read every day”
Hello team Just wondering if I can use que as an alternative to lequel in the following sentece:
"Le Lasso de Vérité avec que je pourrais forcer..."
Thank you again
In the sentence "What do you miss the most?" the word "what" is the object of the verb. So it would be easy to think that the correct translation is "Qu'est-ce que te manque le plus?" However, in French the construction differs from English. The French construction is essentially "What is missing to you the most"? Hence "what" has become the subject of the verb and accordingly the correct translation is "Qu'est-ce qui te manque le plus?"
Can someone confirm that this analysis is correct please?
Why does this use Charles LE sept and not Charles sept?.. following the link, we get Louis quatorze and Elizabeth deux.
After I learn about the subject pronouns prepositions and nouns what would be the next thing to learn?
Any suggestions?
Hi, in a reversed expression such as
Qu'est-ce qui te plaît chez Anna ?
which is the subject and which is the object?
I’m guessing that the subject is that aspect of Anna’s personality which causes ‘you’ to like her. Therefore, since ‘you’ receive pleasure from that part of her personality, ‘you’ are the object.
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance!
Can other B1 or B2 level students follow it without reading the transcript?
