Salut.
Il y a une différence entre écablousser et patauger?
Very interesting, but is it truly A2? The second to last paragraph has lots of passe simple in it (prit, fit, eut), which doesn't appear until B2 level.
Novel = un roman.
'Graphic' in English means very clear and powerful, vivid, explicit.
Therefore a graphic novel = un roman graphique or un roman illustré.
une BD = a comic strip.
Bonjour Madame !
I would like to ask a question regarding two sentences provided by Kwizbot during my test. I believe you would answer it.
1. Paul, lequel elle fait confiance à, est un menteur.
2. La femme qui j’écris à s’appelle Josiane.
These sentences were to be marked incorrect. But, will the correct sentences be as follows-
- Paul, auquel/ à qui elle fait confiance, est un menteur.
- La femme à qui/ à laquelle j’écris, s’appelle Josaine.
Merci pour répondre à ma question.
'I share my apartment with five people, including one girl.'
I realise the lesson is about 'dont', but could one use 'compris' or 'y compris' instead of dont? If so, which, and would compris need an e because the girl is feminine?
For
J'ai eu peur que nous ________ trop tard
I answered "ne soyons arrivés" but this was marked wrong. "Soyons arrivés" was given as corrrect.
Am I missing something with the expletive "ne" (which I do find a bit confusing!) Could you explain?
Thanks in advance,
Ian
The correct answer was auraient dû partir. Why not seraient dû partir ?
I know il/elle are pronouns - which stands in for a noun. So, if you are referring to a specific noun, then you use the pronoun: "où est mon frère? Il est dans sa chambre." However, "ce" is a demonstrative adjective. Maybe, c'est is an abbreviated way of saying "this thing/person is... So "C'est mon frère" is like saying "This (person) is my brother." I don't know if this way of thinking will work for all examples, but I hope I am on the right track.
