It seems that with some adverbs formed by adding -ment to the feminine adjective form the "middle e" is pronounced and others not (example: lentement (not pronounce) and fortement (pronounced). Am I hearing this correctly? If so, is there a rule when to pronounce and when not to?
Thanks!
I was not familiar with this expression. Vivement que ....
Vivement que je puisse faire des voyages cette année, for example?
Merci!
The phrase 'Don’t let it get you down' is generally translated into French as 'Ne te laisse pas abattre'. But, literally, the phrase appears to mean 'Don't let yourself cut down'. Wouldn't better ways to say it in French be 'Ne le laisse pas t'abattre' or 'Ne te laisse pas être abattu'?
Are there any other phrases like this, where the active voice is translated as passive?
[And why is my question suddenly centre justified?]
As an alternative to "sans rien", could you use tout seul? Merci!
I don't understand what the difference is exactly between nous and on
What are the different meanings of emmener and amener?
I recently ran across a guideline which contradicts the quiz sentence "Il est venu pour voir Sarah" associated with this lesson!!
'Venir' is purportedly one of the verbs which does not take ANY preposition before the following infinitive when the context is 'come 'to do 'action of the infinitive' ! So he came to do what.. to see Sarah! So (according to that guideline ) the preposition 'pour' is at least superfluous here if not invalid! Please clarify.
none of the lesson examples gave info about aura (verb). I got the when/after part right which was in the lesson but something else caused me to get these wrong. I feel ripped and wronged. this was an unfair lesson.
