"Les enfants demande à leur mère de leur raconter ce qu'ils doivent manger pour être forts. "
Can anyone tell me whether the expression is être fort or être forts?? Or if both are acceptable, then when should I use each form?
One example given is: Tu as vraiment des yeux de lynx !
You really have eagle eyes!Isn't "lynx" a "lynx" in English (and eagle is "aigle")? Or is "yeux de lynx" an expression that means very sharp eyesight, similar to "eagle eyes"?Does Lawless French plan on incorporating audio questions to their Kwizis? (For example: "type what you hear".) I really enjoy doing the listening practices and know they're beneficial, however, since you cannot earn points doing them, it can be hard sometimes to find enough motivation to do them over the arguably easier kwizis.
Also, if this addition was to be made, it could be optional. (e.g. "Would you like to include audio questions in this kwizi?" or something like that.)
Just an idea :)
These sentences are so similar that I don't understand why one uses "avoir" and the the other "etre." Don't they both have a direct object? "He walked down (the boulevard)", and "she went up (the hill)". I'm missing something!
Il ________ descendu le boulevard St Michel.
Elle ______ montee la colline.
Why is "He's thinking of her" - Il pense à elle instead of Il lui pense?
If someone were to ask the question "Pense-il a Marie?" Would the answer be "Oui, il lui pense."
In the sentence “Depuis qu’elle s’est fait mal avec le couteau l’année dernière” , why is it not “faite” as the subject is elle, or is it because it’s le couteau that hurt her and not a feminine object noun ?
I love the programme and intend to subscribe. My aim is to reach B2 by the end of the year and C1/2 next year. Please could you advise me on the best way forward.
Kind regards
