In this lesson there is an example of passer in passé compose using être:
Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie...
and using avoir:
Nous avons passé une bonne semaine...
I can't see an explanation for this and I'm confused
John
I knew that making it imperfect and adding the "à" didn’t make sense but…. Too funny
Is that pronunciation common?
Thanks, K
Why can't I write it Madame Lepic instead of Mme?
ne le lui donnez pas?
ne me la donnez pas?
why indirect object's place are different in that negatif imperatifs.
İn the first one "lui" is used after "le"
But second one "me" is used after the "ne"
ı wish your helps thanks :)
Both mean "exactly." When do you use which phrase? Thanks.
Does it make any sense to ask why "Hanoucca" doesn't use a definite article in order to ease the pronunciation? Is it because the "H" is an "H aspiré"?
Every dictionary I have checked confirms that 'les soldes' is masculine (wheareas 'la vente' is feminine, and 'la solde' has a different meaning). Just about every French person (woman) I have asked is surprised to find this to be the case ! However, I think the exercise should at least reflect/indicate the 'correct' usage:
Perhaps a simple note under the heading of the lesson that although 'les soldes' is officially masculine gender, it is very commonly 'misused' in the feminine, and throughout this lesson the 'colloquial' feminine grammatical gender for 'les soldes' has been used.
Just leaving it incorrect doesn't seem to me to be the best option.
Hi, I notice you can use "better" for feelings but what about for smell? How would you say, "It smells better"? Thank you!!!
Can't we say "en tout cas" instead of "de toute façon"?
