Salut! In the second last sentence, tarte is feminine, so why is it “LE goûter” and not LA goûter? I’m assuming the meaning of the sentence is “she invites some friends to taste it” or does it mean “the tasting”?
The question was how would you write 78,005 in English. It didn’t say how do you write this decimal number. I wondered if it was but chose to go with thousands and not a decimal number because it was not specified.
Hello
Could you please explain why the pronoun 'en' is used in this phrase? I am having difficulty recognising when to use en and what it means in this context. Thanks.
....et en acceptèrent la langue
I was really scratching my head as to why the lesson seemed to think there was a difficulty about whether it should be "dans la rue" or "sur la rue".
Most people in England would say "I live in such and such street", so there's no difficulty at all in saying "J'habite dans rue such and such".
I suspect that to live "on" a street is an American usage, so perhaps the lesson should deal with that in the usual way by translating as "I live in xxxx street (US I live on xxx street)" ?
In the B2 writing exercise, occurs the following phrase: le Ministère a finalement confirmé ce lundi for: the Ministry finally confirmed this Monday.
If ce is a demonstrative adjective, this construction seems incorrect. I translated it as le Ministère l'a confirmé lundi.
What happens when the indefinite article is followed by a preposition?
For example :
Le médecin travaille dans un hôpital.
The negative sentence according to the rule is ' Le médecin ne travaille pas dans d'hôpital ' .
But d'hôpital sounds so absurd.
Is there any rule of negation when the the indefinite article is followed by a preposition?
ne le lui donnez pas?
ne me la donnez pas?
why indirect object's place are different in that negatif imperatifs.
İn the first one "lui" is used after "le"
But second one "me" is used after the "ne"
ı wish your helps thanks :)
I want to know all possible answers for that question
Just curious...
Are there realistic examples with verb-y-en?
Is it valid (or possible) to have three pronouns in a row?
