Hi! Could someone explain why "à nouveau" is preferred here to "encore"? Do they have slightly different meanings?
R.e. this question:
Tous les gosses y vont, mais ________ prend le train.
User "Lolli" in Jan 2018 asked if "personne ne" would also be correct in this sentence (in addition to the "correct" answer of "aucun ne"). I think that in spoken conversation, "personne ne" would be acceptable and convey equivalent meaning. There hasn't yet been a definitive response as to whether "personne ne" is acceptable grammatically.
Can anyone provide definitive guidance on this?
(Maybe the kwiziq website logic can't accommodate unanticipated responses?)
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!
This was the sentence: Vous veniez me voir chaque semaine.
Two of the options for the answer are "You used to come and see me every week." and "You had come to see me every week."
Same idea with this sentence: Nous allions en Espagne tous les etes. (Sorry, don't know how to get the accents on my keyboard).
Two of the options for the answer are "We used to go to Spain every summer." and "We were going to Spain every summer."
For me, in both situations the two answers mean the same thing and were both correct but I had to pick one. l don't understand how they are different and why one is correct and the other isn't. I'm guessing it's a subtle nuance I'm missing. Can you please explain? Thanks!
If I say je ne pense pas que cest une bonne idee is it cest or ce soit Paul
