One of the fill-in-the-blanks exercises has a line, "En novembre, je fais antichambre."
What does this mean, (as it's quite foreign to my American sensibilities)??
This is so tedious. I will never have to take an exam in French. I just want to communicate in French. I will never be in a position to make such fine distinctions as this. This is just discouraging.
Regarding the question asked by Kyaw: perhaps the lesson "Nouns that are plural in English but singular in French, and vice versa" could have a few more examples added, including words such as 'vaisselle'. This is only a suggestion!
Does Tout ce dont also have the same meanings - [everything that/ all that], or is there any additional meaning to it?? Please confirm. Also a few examples would be great.
'anything that' is also an additional meaning?
(of course that the context will differ with the inclusion of de in 'tout ce dont', than 'tout ce qui' and 'tout ce que')
I’ve seen things like:
Je veux qu’elle vienne
Je ne veux pas qu’elle vienne
But I haven’t (yet) seen:
Je veux qu’elle ne vienne pas
Does this occur in French? Can the “ne pas” wrap around the subjunctive verb?
I enjoyed this writing exercise but it could have been better if there were links to the necessary vocabulary. For example the "right size" was difficult to find just using a dictionary to look up words individually and I could not even find a word for sneakers!!
