I got it wrong for using ces sont instead of ce sont. Kwiz pointed me to this lesson but it doesn't explain why ces is wrong.
The choice I chose was "the birds sang in the trees" as I thought it was descriptive! as in "Le soleil brillait sur la campagne" the sun shone on the countryside. But the correct answer was "the birds were singing in the trees". Why is this and how to tell the difference? Thanks,
Also, do the following sentences have the same meaning? Which sentence is incorrect? Why?
On fait du sport régulièrement, ce qui est important.
C'est important qu'on fasse du sport régulièrement.
C'est important ce qu'on fasse du sport régulièrement.
Thank you
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.
It seems like you are trying to explain two concepts, but aren't explicit about it.First compound subjects take plural verb forms: Sarah et ma soeur sont allées à la plage.
Second the subject pronoun changes form from its singular usage:
je --> moi
tu --> toi
Can someone tell me if I have arrived at a correct conclusion?
Il prend le train le vendredi. = He takes the train on Fridays.
Il prend le train vendredi. = He is taking the train Friday.
If there's a lesson on when to use articles with days of the week, I would appreciate a link! Thank you.
Bonjour Madame !
Thanks for posting such a captivating and mesmerising reader. But I would like to ask a question regarding a phrase which reads-
Bravo Papa! (rires) On n’arrivera jamais à faire de belles crêpes !
Indeed, here the Brown Bear comminicates with his dad but why is the verb ‘rire’ conjugated as ‘rires’ though I learnt from a lesson that it is - Il rit/ Elle rit/ On rit .
Is this a special way of expressing one’s emotions while transcribing in French ?
Merci d’avance ! Bonne journée !
So which one is it? The examples say to use nos or notre with on. I did exactly that in the test and got it wrong. It would be useful to know when to use one and when the other one with on.
Penultimate prompt is in fact for the last sentence.
