This exercise is far far too long - I get distracted and bored and then I start over another day and the same thing happens. It is now my third week of it and I have not passed Point 1.
It needs to be broken up into different lessons! It makes me very annoyed and it is off putting to continue...
This is excellent, great learning tool. How can I find more songs with transcriptions like this on your site? (I have an account!) e.g. there was one a couple of weeks ago (female singer, lots about colours etc) that I want to find again, how can I easily do so? Thanks in advance!
This lesson is about the expression ‘faire exprès de’ + infinitive. My question is whether the word ‘exprès’ can also be used directly after other verbs to equally mean ‘on purpose’. For example, in the examples above is it possible to say “mon petit frère a cassé exprès ma poupée” and “j’ai renversé exprès mon verre” to mean the same things as “mon petit frère a fait exprès de casser ma poupée” and “j’ai fait exprès de renverser mon verre” ?
Why is the plural "vos" used instead of votre? What part of this sentence is plural? I thought this was the formal "you" not plural
A quiz question was as follows:
Je te donne ________ de mon salaire. ——> I give you half my salary.
I answered “une moitié”, but the correct answer was “la moitié”.
Why is this the case? I understood from the lesson that these two are interchangeable.
Even if they are not interchangeable, I would think:
- “une moitié de mon salaire” ——> one half of my salary
Whereas:
- “La moitié de mon salaire” ——> the half of my salary
Thanks
This is probably a very fine distinction. "I got on my horse", according to the lesson would be "J'ai monté mon cheval." So why is it incorrect to say, ''Lucas a monté la nouvelle armoire de sa sœur.'' - "Lucas got on his sister's new wardrobe"?"
J’habite une maison or j’habite dans une maison. I see the first one written but say the second. Am I wrong? Is it possible to use both?
