"Ils avaient fait..."
"Il avait fait..."
These two sentences sound same. Is there a way that we can understand the correct sujet?
I understand that de + les = des, but is it more natural to use 'des' here, even though the 'les' is part of the title "Les Misérables"? The alternative correct answer was given as 'la petite fille dans "Les Misérables", which seems to preserve the title of the book.
In the grammar lesson, it explains that you can use either "en" or "de" in "un sac .... cuir". So to avoid confusion, would it not be better to show that both "en" and "de" are also both acceptable answers in "Je possède un blouson _____ cuir". Or are they?
The sunglasses are not yours.... What is the difference between Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les vôtres? and Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les tiennes? Both are listed as possessive pronouns for "yours".
Nous avons froid/ ils ont froid/ elle a froid????
Greetings! The translation of "des aromes de fumier" above says "smoky aromas," but I'm seeing in the dictionary that the meaning of "fumier" is "manure." Is the translation above mistaken?
So you only use va/vont? And do you conjugate with the person or the object?
Eg la rose va a ma sœur - is it la rose or ma sœur that is triggering these use of va?
In the same way, how would you say the rose suits us?
