Hello, the video has been blocked due to copyright reasons.
For a previous question, I got a lovely response about placing "aussi" after the verb, but I see that in the phrase "J'ai aussi demande "(needs an accent ague), "aussi" goes in the middle of the verb. Is that the rule?
Hi,
I was wondering why there was no liason between voudrais + une, or veux+câlin?
thanks in advance
Why is puis preferable to ensuite in the sentence: 'nous prendrons des photos ensemble, puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot'...?
In the lesson: Raise your hand please, I used votre main since clearly another person is involved, the one telling someone else to raise her hand. Why is la main the correct usage? Thanks much.
No, I am not the Queen! but I am trying to translate this "precious" mode of speech while preserving the original's register but I am confused by the use of possesive pronouns when translating sentences using the English neuter pronoun "one". e.g.
"One is happy to accept this recognition of one's efforts."
I would translate this as :
"On est heureux d'accepter cette reconnaissance de ses efforts."
A previous reply has indicated that the use of "ses" here is non-sensical.
How should this English sentence be translated (in register)?
If the rule is ne...pas +passe compose +depuis longtemps means not in a long time, surely Martin n'est pas arrive depuis longtemps would translate as Martin hasn't been here in a long time, not Martin hasn't been here long?
