I'm confused about the difference between "les jours derniers" vs. "les derniers jours".
In the lesson, "les jours derniers" is translated as "these last days" while "les derniers jours" is translated as "these past few days." I'm having a hard time seeing the distinction.
Why is the above verb "commence" in the present tense? I understand that after "Avant que" one uses the subjunctive, but shouldn't it be past subjunctive - therefore " avant que je n'aie commencé à apprendre le français.
Thanks
Is there any way to determine whether a sentence should end in a period or an exclamation point? In English, there is generally a difference in the tone of voice: a regular, matter-of-fact tone usually indicates a period, while an excited tone (angry, happy, etc.) usually indicates an exclamation point. For most of the sentences in the dictation exercises, I don't hear anything that lets me determine which one I should choose. In this exercise, the only sentence that seems to me to require an exclamation point is the very last one: « Miam ! »
I know that intonation in French is different from English, but I just don't grasp how some punctuation works in French.
Is "tiens" an intensifier here? As (in English - "I'll say" or "I'll tell you what" or "bloody hell" etc etc :)
Bonjour Madame Cécile et Madame Aurélie !
A small message I would like to share with you. Yesterday, I received an e-mail via Help and Support which stated that French experts are of the opinion that I post quite a large number of questions. Indeed it’s true I admit but I would like to tell you that it’s me (Shrey) a school- going thirteen year -old boy who learns French through Kwiziq under my Mom’s name (Varsha). I always had a desire to excel in French which is not taught in my school in India (as the mail suggested me to consult my own teacher sometimes for my queries). After being acquainted with Kwiziq, which motivated my inquisitive mind to grab this very opportunity, I whole-heartedly have started devoting some time to French apart from my school studies. With your constant support and dedication in helping me while answering my doubts since I joined a Premium membership in October 2018 helped me to achieve DELF A1 diploma. I will be indebted to you both forever. I hope you understand my circumstances and would devote your valuable time in future to help me master my French.
Merci beaucoup et Bonne journée !
What is the minimum required to maintain a Day Streak and is the day counted from midnight in local time? For example If I test my study list it is a test of 10 questions. But if I Test one of my notebooks it is usually fewer than ten questions. Will a test on a Notebook with only one question still count towards the Day Streak? I guess I could experiment but I don't want to lose my current streak!!
I put of but it's coming as from dhryujvertgrtujrtdtruhjtydhdfgytr5yh67ikjr5ty646rjityut6r4y6r4uy
Où habites-tu? j'habite à Barcelone.
Why using ( en ) instead of (à ) in this sentence is incorrect?!
