would suivre be a better verb then prendre when referring to lessons or a course ?
I understand when to use "de" as well as "de l" for vowels, however i also noticed sometimes "du" gets used which is confusing. Came across one of the posts by Tom in the comment section: j'ai besoin de soutien - I need support (general)
J'ai besoin du soutien du gouvernement - I need government support (specific)
How come this is still correct which still contains the word "support" with a different article: j'ai besoin d'un soutien financier and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien financier,
This actually confuses me the most:
j'ai besoin de soutien and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien. Last i checked, le soutien est masculin.
I'm trying to work out what to do when the two subjects are a person and something inanimate. Basically I want to say "I miss you and Paris" - and can only come up with "Toi et Paris me manquent" which doesn't seem right, or "Toi et Paris me manquez" -which definitely seems wrong! Maybe this is something you just can't say in French?
Why passé simple is used in sentence instead of le subjonctif
In the phrase "J'aime beaucoup ce nouveau bijou" why doesn't beaucoup need a "de"?
Why does "de" follow "je dois" and precede "avoir" in this sentence?
Bonjour!
Can you give some more examples for this lesson because I did not understand this lesson.
Merci!
Hi, why is the subjonctive used here:
et j'espère que tu puisses me pardonner.
the statement is in the affirmative.
This question was on a test. Write "I play tennis.": Je ________ tennis. Did I understand the lesson correctly?
Does the answer match what the lesson is teaching? (I can't see or remember either at this moment, but I copied the question before leaving the test page.)
