why is
'je vous la donne' the translation for 'I give it to you' when we don't know the gender of 'it'? shouldn't it be 'je vous le donne'
in the same manner why is 'je la lui a écrite' - i wrote it to her - not 'je le lui a écrit'?
I wrote “nous sommes ouvertes” as it was “the Bank” that was giving the information or am I just being too literal here ?
''Je n'ai pas mangé de viande depuis dix ans.'' means: I haven't eaten any meat for ten years.
Could we also say "Je n'ai pas mangé la viande depuis dix ans" ?
For example, if I say "Elle faire ses devoirs" instead of "Elle est en train de faire ses devoirs", what is the difference? Thank you
hi.can I use " dans" to say" J' habite dans Layon"
Instead of "à"
Why is the final phrase "je mettrai mon réveil plus tôt!" and not "je mettrai plus tôt mon réveil!"? I though adverbs come directly after the verb.
You managed to finish your exercise.HINT: Conjugate arriver (to manage) using le Passé Composé (conversational past)
The answer given is ‘es arrivé’. So, even when ‘arriver’ means ‘to manage’ rather than ‘to arrive’, & therefore doesn’t actually have anything to do with movement or coming & going, its auxiliary is still être rather than avoir?
Are there any further such instances we should bear in mind?
Thank you.
Bonjour Madame Aurélie !
Thanks for designing this worksheet which was a brain -teaser indeed !
A question which I propose to ask you is regarding this sentence -
Tout ça pour en arriver là !
The English translation suggests “All that to get there !” But I want to ask what is the very need to use an adverbial pronoun en when the English can be interrupted without en ? Secondly , you specified in the English “ to get from there to there” . Does this play an important role in deciding the option between “y/en” as I answered “y” ?
Merci d’avance !
Bonne journée !
