I would have expected the perfect verb for s’ennuyer to be je me suis ennuyé, but the correction to my latest quiz suggests an extra accent as: énnuyé
One of the test questions from another lesson:
Je suis sûre que nous ________ ce livre.
answer: aimerons
Why do we use Le Futur instead of subjonctif present? Do we use Subjonctif present automatically after 'que'?
I thought the marking was a bit odd as I have underlined the words I got wrong and one was a verb avertir I used in lieu of prèvenir?
- Bonjour Sandra ! J'ai besoin de ton aide. - Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ? - Je dois partir(quitter) à midi parce que ma fille est malade. Est-ce que tu peux prévenir(avertir) Jean-Pierre ? - Pas de problème ! J'ai une réunion avec lui avant mon déjeuner avec Marielle. - Merci beaucoup ! Lucie a de la fièvre et je suis un peu inquiète. - Je comprends. À demain !The text uses "Je serai là" I used "J'y serai" Is my alternate acceptable? If not, why not? Thank you.
"Je vais au parc " was corrected to "je vais dans le parc" Why was the former response incorrect?
In the quiz above, there was a question about the sentence:
Après manger, les filles feront leurs devoirs
I was slightly confused as I would have written this sentences as "apres avoir mange" (with appropriate accents) at the beginning and not apres manger. In this lesson it seems to imply that to write apres+infinitive is wrong: Après avoir fait = After doing in French (auxiliary avoir)
I think I may be missing something and would appreciate some help. Is manger being used as a noun here maybe?
I’ve lived in France a little while now and for « On the floor, the tiles are blue like the ocean » I automatically wrote « Au sol, le carrelage est bleu comme l’océan », which was accepted, but in final translation I see « Sur le sol, le carreaux sont bleus comme l’océan ». Is mine more a spoken translation ?
This is actually confusing, as it seems the sentence might be incorrect. I keep wondering why it isn't Quelles chaussures ils/elles plaisent? Or Quelles chaussures tu plais?
