I thought the principal ingredient in a food uses a (my keyboard lacks an accent) rather than de.
Hello,
I am just wondering why the "ne" is included in the above mentioned phrase "Je crains que vous ne conduisiez trop vite" whish is translated to "I am worried you are driving too fast"? I thought ne was meant to denote a negative, implying something more like "I am worried you are not driving too fast"?
What am I missing?
Thank you!
Ben
Est-ce possible utiliser "constater" au lieu de "remarquer" dans ce contexte? Les deux mots me semblent égaux. Si non, quelle est la nuance?
Is the pace of the listening B2 level too or just the text
Sometimes it is okay to use pas and other times it is not. I am confused. I have answered both ways and get it wrong.
I love Hugo's brother!
My understanding is that some french proper names that start with H use H aspiré, so this should/could be:
J'adore le frère de Hugo
Does the possessive "de" override the H aspiré rule?
Here are some others that I believe use "H aspiré": Henri, Hubert, Héctor, Harry
Can you please clarify?
Thanks

The writer is talking to a talented painter. My dictionaries state that to talk to someone is parler à. Why is parler à quelqu'un considered wrong?
Question: Elle va ________ Havre aujourd'hui.
She's going to Le Havre today.(HINT: Le Havre is a French city). I noted the Le was missing in the question so after writing au, as being masculine I knew this was the answer but not having Le in front confused me so I added it, making my answer 'au le'. Why was the Le missing. Was this an examiners deliberate deception?Hello,
I have a lot of topics in my A2 notebook, which are not being tested in the 'test your notebook knowledge.' The system is continuously asking me about the same verbs and topics, which also need reinforcement.
Can I do anything about this? Thanks.
