Bonjour Kwiziq Experts !
A rule from the lesson states-
Adverbial pronouns en/y are placed after moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur and moi/toi become m' and t’
Can it be elaborated by using the following- en/ y are placed after moi/toi/lui/l’/nous/vous/leur/les.
Accompagne-l’y ! -> Accompany him there ! (Here, l’ is a direct object which is better as compared to lui)
Conduis-les-y ! -> Drive them there ! (Here too, les is a direct object used instead of leur)
Just curious to know whether direct object too satisfy this rule or only indirect object pronouns could be used before en/y .
Merci encore !
Hi, I think I'm a bit confuse when comes to gender. I thought whenever for feminine, need to add -e. But, how come there is a gender for fruits. And when come to souris, how do I know the gender for the animal?
Le joli garçon est avec la jolie fille.Je mange un melon vert et une pomme verte.I’m interested to know how you’d say "this time last year" in French? In English, it emphasises that it’s an exact period ago, so more precise than "il y a un an".
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 exercise doesn't work because the audio files are all out of sync. Instead of writing down what we have heard for each line, we are expected to guess what the next line will be !
"Le couteau, dont Marc a cassé le manche, est bleu." What/who is blue?
vs
"Le couteau, que Marc a cassé le manche, est bleu." What/who is blue?
What would be the difference between dont and que here?
If I want to say ‘after I did something’ when do I use the construction ‘après avoir + past participle’ and when do I use ‘après que + indicative tense’
Or, could I use either?
The question in the test was: ‘you went to the cinema after studying for your exam’
I used ‘après que tu as révisé pour ton examen’ and it was marked wrong. The correct answer being ‘après avoir révisé pour ton examen’
