Thanks.
Bonjour! I am perplexed, in the following sentence "On se disait pas le temps, pas envie, pas longtemps" Is "se" functioning as a direct or indirect object? I am thinking direct "We told ourselves"...?
Somehow, I always translate "city" to "ville" and "town" to village. Help me to think about this differently, if you can!
Where do I put the negative with lui/leur? For example:"No, I don't write to him."
Would this be "Non, je ne lui écris pas" or "Non, je lui n'écris pas"? I don't know if the negative surrounds the pronoun too.
Le chalet : It is one of those words - does the ‘a’ have a roof over it or not ? According to my Oxford English-French dictionary no, which is why i’m going with that spelling, but the American English - French dictionary could well say otherwise. Google translate is without too
The question in my lesson plan test was: "Il a vu Paul et Sam ? -Non, ________ ."
My answer, "Il n'a pas vu Paul et Sam." was marked wrong. And the correct answer given is:
"Il n'a vu ni Paul ni Sam." "Has he seen Paul and Sam? -No, he hasn't seen Paul or Sam."
Wouldn't the more accurate English be: "No, he hasn't seen either Paul or Sam." ?
And, therefore "Il n'a pas vu Paul et Sam." would be the negation for "Il as vu Paul et Sam?"
Thank you for your explanation.
"Note that because plus is used in a negative context here, you don't pronounce the final "s"."
Why is there a need to add "je suis" to "d'accord?" There are only 2 people in this conversation, so it would seem obvious that the one is agreeing with the other without identifying himself. It's a bit cumbersome and wordy, esp in spoken interaction. Do people actually talk like that in real life???
