These sentences are so similar that I don't understand why one uses "avoir" and the the other "etre." Don't they both have a direct object? "He walked down (the boulevard)", and "she went up (the hill)". I'm missing something!
Il ________ descendu le boulevard St Michel.
Elle ______ montee la colline.
For example if you were to say 'I like carrots', can't you say j'aime des carottes as well as j'aime les carottes ?
Or do they mean different things?
Hi! Just a quick question, the play head doesn't allow me to go back or move forward as in if I wanted to play back or listen again to only a certain part of the exercise/story. And I have to listen to the whole thing again, for just one small part. Is this something that is intentional or an oversight? thank you
Is there a list of all of the adjectives that go before the noun? I feel like there is a list somewhere that I am missing.
Hello, I couldn't see an example with 'cet', when do you use it please?
Je parle de lui ..speak of him... pense à elle..think of her...
Might be worthwhile doing both of these as lui/elle.. thèse examples don't help me understand if you can say d'elle and à lui
Why is it that the ending /s/ in "boutiques", in this sentence "mais toutes les BOUTIQUES EN ligne sont en rupture de stock", is not pronounced before the next vowel /e/ in "en"?
So it was pronounced like /boutiQUE-en/, rather than /boutiqueS-en/ which is what I expected.
Is it just a style? I find it hard to know when I'm supposed to pronounce the /s/, or /x/ at the end of a word if it comes before a vowel, and when I don't.
