avoir besoin d'argentFirst issue:
Interaction p 23 : Tu as de l'argent pour faire les courses? Non, j'ai besoin d'argent.
It explains "avoir besoin de uses de alone when followed by a noun used in the partitive sense" which must be the rationale for the response above.
1. Why isn't the question also partitive sense? Please help me make the distinction.
Second issue:
On p340, it says that avoir besoin de is one of a small number of verbs (it also includes s'agir de, parler de, se souvenir de) that require "de" before a noun object and gives the example
"J'ai besoin d'argent pour voyager" (no article before "argent")
and also gives "Nous parlons du Canada en cours" (has the article); Il s'agit d'un voyage au Canada; On se souvient du passé là-bas.
2. For all those examples on p340 except avoir besoin de, there is an article and I don't know why they differ.
I am becoming confused. Can someone help please?
I just took a test on this subject. What makes no sense to me is that all the test answers use the word must ( must have been, gone, lost, etc.) Since one uses the future of avoir or être and the passé comp ending, wouldn't the proper translation be will have been, etc? When I go to a lesson, not one example sentence uses the word must. Furthermore, wouldn't common sense tell you that devoir should be used somehow if must is desired? Help-frustrated.
Is enfants not plural so the objective pronoun is leurs? Leur would equal "un enfant"?
Bonjour, just to clarify, it is correct to use conjugated aller + infinitive aller?
Example: Je vais aller au cinéma. This is correct?
If it can be e acute or e grave why not e natural? The Academy should give preference to simpler solutions!
I think "deuxième" is in the adjective list that can be placed before the noun.
But in the answer told me the below phrase is incorrect. Can you tell me why?
ma maison deuxième
Okay, so I've just climbed up from A2 but this:
Je suis jalouse des nouvelles bottes que tu as achetées.
looks wrong to me. Why do I have achetées with bottes with avoir?
I was confused initially as this lesson was to be devoted to regular verbs. The conjugation of être is given in a later lesson an includes the same example copied above. To prevent confusion, I suggest this particular example be removed from this lesson and also the video clip on être as there is another lesson devoted to this subject.
