I don't understand the choice of "allait" vs "va" in the sentence "Isabelle allait aussi tenter sa chance à Paris", as translating "is going" feels like "va."
For the example elle y repond, does this mean it's wrong to say elle le repond? Or elle la repond?
Thanks in advance.
In the lesson on the above topic, it states that if "passer" is followed by a direct object, it uses "avoir" in the passé composé.
Elle est passée chez Laurent hier.She passed by Laurent's place yesterday.
Here, passer is followed by a direct object, yet uses "être".Should the translation be: Elle est passée par chez Laurent hier?This example seems to contradict the rule, even though it is a verb of motion in this sentence. Should have a preposition.
The question:
says it translates to "Suddenly, the creature was here, opposite me."
Does that mean that can mean both "here" and "there" in English then?
I was wondering why it is "les effort physiques" without the noun being plural. I expected it to be "les efforts physiques" ? (with agreement between the definite article and the noun and the adjective)
If I say Je vous deteste tous-I hate all of you. Then,tous is a pronoun but not a complement to the subject. So do you pronounce the S?
What is the exact difference between il est and c'est?
Is there an lesson on the construction "de + infinitive"? Having finished the course I can't see one, and of course it is used frequently: e.g. La bonne résolution d'Isabelle est de découvrir d'autres cultures.
Je déteste quand je connaise une bonne réponse mais je choisis une réponse mauvaise parce que je dépêche! J'ai besoin de lire chaque réponse en avance de choisir une réponse. oh la la la la la la la ! :)
