Perhaps this page should also include an explanation when to use "quel".
As far as i remember, one uses "Quel" when the verb is "etre". Is that correct?
I am the first to admit my listening skills aren't great, but I was wondering if anyone else can actually hear the word "même" in this phrase in this exercise? I do struggle to pick up all the words sometimes, but I've replayed this a dozen times and can't discern it at all - is it just me or has it been omitted on the audio file?)
I cannot differenciate between pronoun etre a and le mien la mienne ...
What is the difference in their function (use)
Not sure where, what, why the "leur" indirect object is in this sentence..."D'où leur viennent ce nom et langage étrange." Anyone explain?
Near the bottom of the lesson, the green box says ‘-CER and -GER verbs take ç and extra e in front of -a, but not in front of -è’ then is followed by an example with commença. I know that’s the correct spelling; so I don’t understand the ‘extra e’ bit. Please explain. Hang on, the penny is dropping...it’s an extra ‘e’ just after -ger and not -cer ? Perhaps this could be made clearer ?
hi.can I use " dans" to say" J' habite dans Layon"
Instead of "à"
I wonder if we can do the same before verbs starting by a vowel, because in this case n would change the sound a bit.
For example:
- Je n'aime pas de chiens
- J'aime pas de chiens
One of the examples given here is "Mon stylo s'est cassé alors j'en ai acheté un autre".
It seems to me that "Mon stylo s'est cassé alors j'ai acheté un autre" would work just as well, because "un autre" implies "un stylo". So would the second version (i.e. without "en") be: a) OK; b) clumsy; or c) just plain wrong?
Thanks
Confused again.. your examples all use the form “il est dix heures vingt-cinq”.. in response to “quelle heure est-il”, would c’est dix heures vingt-cinq be equally acceptable?
