It would be so helpful with exercises like this if we could slow the playback down. I play it 20 times and still struggle at times.
Does anyone know of any websites where you can paste the sentence in and adjust the playback?
Thanks
'que les gens me donnent' - was the answer for 'have been giving me'. I thought that the French here meant (in your answer) - 'that the people 'are' giving me'.
Why is puis preferable to ensuite in the sentence: 'nous prendrons des photos ensemble, puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot'...?
Listening to the pronunciation of verbs like appeler in the first and second person plural, I don’t here any separate syllable in the verb where the single “l” is. , as in vous appelez, or nous appelons. It’s as if the “e” is simply omitted and the word is pronounced like “ applez” and “applons”. This is much more obvious with the female voice than the male. Could you clarify the pronunciation please?
Is the word "en" necessary in the above sentence?
how do you know where to use qui or que
This is given as an alternative. Does it have any meaning/use?
Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I am unable to understand the concepts behind the following sentences.
(A)Ce portable, appartient-il à ce monsieur?
The answers I thought were->
1.Oui, c’est le sien. 2. Oui, il est à lui. 3.Oui, il appartient à lui.
Are they correct ? Can one say- Oui, il est le sien ?
(B)Tout le monde n’a pas les mêmes goûts, chacun a __________
Here, the correct answer will be les siens. Why cannot it be le sien ?
Merci beaucoup et bonne journée!
