What is the negative of this sentence
Elle a cinq crayons
"Les enfants demande à leur mère de leur raconter ce qu'ils doivent manger pour être forts. "
Can anyone tell me whether the expression is être fort or être forts?? Or if both are acceptable, then when should I use each form?
I keep getting asked a question that I know I have no intention of answering.. I don't answer it so it keeps getting asked.. .. and asked..... is there any way of telling Kwiziq not to ask me again?.. and, presumably, it is marking me down for my failure to answer.
The following quoted material appears at: https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/passe-compose-vs-imparfait/
All in the past vs Relevance to presentImparfait describes something that is entirely in the past.
Il voulait toujours être médecin. He always wanted (used to want) to be a doctor.J’y mangeais souvent. I often ate there / I used to eat there often (but never again).Passé composé explains something that started in the past and continues today.
Il a toujours voulu être médecin. He has always wanted to be a doctor.J’y ai souvent mangé. I have often eaten there (and might again).Are you sure you don't have this in reverse? It seems like the passé composé would be used for the finished actions in the quote above.
When to use a, au and chez?
1)I just did a quiz on futur proche. One answer was: Demain, j'y verrai plus clair. (Tomorrow, I will see more clearly.) What does y represent here?
2) Ils sont vus des animaux en Afrique? Oui, ils y en a vus. If only a single adverbial pronoun is acceptable, which one do I select?
Thanks in advance
One of the quiz answers is "I've got other friends". My high school English teacher would say that's not bad English, it's horrible English. It should be "I have other friends".
I notice 'je me souviens écouter' is preferred over 'je me souviens d'écouter'. Is there any thinking on when you would use the 'de' and when not ?
I guess I fell into the trap of considering "play with dolls" to be a general statement and used "les poupées".
Is this not a general statement? Should "some" be implied here and thus the use of "des poupées"?
