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 !
The first 2 answers in the multiple choice list are the same so I chose both and got one wrong. What happened?
I'm trying to work out what to do when the two subjects are a person and something inanimate. Basically I want to say "I miss you and Paris" - and can only come up with "Toi et Paris me manquent" which doesn't seem right, or "Toi et Paris me manquez" -which definitely seems wrong! Maybe this is something you just can't say in French?
to help me remember which demonstrative pronoun to use. I'm surprised i haven't come across this somewhere else because now it seems obvious to me.
Anyway, thought i'd share in case it can help others.
Think of them like this:
ce-lui
c-eux
c-elle
c-elles
of course, just remove the hyphen and you have your correct demonstrative pronoun!
I wonder, is the object of this sentence ("la" in) "Tu la suis, ou quoi?" (Are you following her, or what?) part of an expression; a special kind of object pronoun; or just the article for an unspoken feminine object of the sentence (fille/dame)?
In translating "Before we moved to the city when I was 13," I used the past subjunctive, "Avant que nous n'ayons emménagé...". However, you used the present subjunctive, "n'emménagions". Why is that?
