How do you write 8:39am in french
In the ceci/cela lesson, cela dit is translated as 'that said' though the verb is in the present tense. Is there a 'rule' for this or is it simply idiomatic?
Merci!
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?
Bonjour!
Pourquoi ici est-ce que l'adjectif "marron" ne s'accorde pas avec le nom féminin "la jupe"?
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse!
Bonjour Madame,
In this quiz , there is a sentence as "surtout quand elle détache ses longs cheveux roux."
Here, I am puzzled as to why possessive adjective is used with a body part but there is a lesson which contradicts by advising to use definite articles. Is this an exception ?
Secondly, why is 'roux' used for red ? Why not "rouges" ?
Bonne journée !
When referring to a single person of unknown gender, is it correct to use le/la leur, or is that a situation where theirs should be translated as le sien/la sienne?
E.g Would "Someone has forgotten their wallet. Don't take it! It's theirs." translate to "Quelqu'un a oublié leur portefeuille. Ne le prends pas! C'est le leur." ou "Quelqu'un a oublié son portefeuille. Ne le prends pas! C'est le sien."
