I thought, incorrectly, “je n’y avais eu pris aucun plaisir”; et “je n’y avais eu demandé d’y retourner.”
Merci pour clarifierça.
This is based upon previous tests. In one, the correct answer is given as "Ce qui me touche,c'est son pauvrete." In another test, the answer is said to be "Ce que je trouve angoissant, c'est son mode de vie." These seem to me to be very similar but in one there is "ce qui" and in the other, "ce que" I thought I understood this issue but the difference between these questions makes me a bit confused. Could you possibly take the time to explain why they are different from one another? It may take more than a referral back to the lesson. Thank you!
I am confused. I know Un is used with masculine nouns and Une is with feminine nouns. But when I looked at the examples of these two:
Un exemple
Une aventure
They both use the English An, but in French, both nouns are feminine, ending in E. So, why use the masculine form of Un with Exemple???
Salut. "Dont" c'est un pronom relatif qui me confond toujours -- quelquefois je me sens que je le comprends un peu mieux.
"Un traitement antirétroviral prophylactique est proposé à celles dont la test est positif"
Pourquoi dont? avec quoi s'accord il? peut-on dire ".... a celles pour qui la test est positif"?
How is «I eat neither apples nor pears» in the test I just did, significantly different to «I like neither cheese nor milk»? There is nothing at all that I can see in the construction of these sentences that gives a clue that the first is «Je ne mange ni pommes ni poires» while the second is «Je n'aime ni le fromage ni le lait» ie one uses definite article and one doesn't. If there is something special about the verb «aimer» or «manger» this needs to be detailed - but it is not. Perhaps one of the translations is 'wrong', noting that the French could be «I eat/I like» or «I am eating/I am liking». Nothing in this lesson clarifies this either, despite multiple comments and complaints that it is poorly discussed, and the examples are unsatisfactory.
What is the difference between le(COD) and y ?
I'm trying to get 100% in A0 and it's incredible hard.
I had 98,50% and have made dozens of tests - each good of them gave me around +0,10%. It wouldn't be a problem, but each test with even only one mistake took around -1% from my score!
So I spent time getting i.e. 99,60% and then boom - couple of mistakes or even typos (cause I'm getting nervous and angry) throw me back to 97% - even lower than I was before.
I start even thinking I don't need this 100% at all...
