The rules you give are quite useful. Thank you.
One thing that I would add is that I can remember easier if I think in terms of who is actually entering. If the Subject is entering, then we use être, but if the "entering" is being done by someone/something other than the Subject, then we use avoir.
Mes filles sont entrées en CP cette année. -> Mes filles
Nous avons entré les informations dans le programme. -> les informations
This works in other cases where we need to decide between avoir and être. (or where the sentence seems to indicate that the action is not done by the sentence subject)
Regardez mes fous cheveux! [Look at my crazy hair!]
Is this correct? What are the rules for the before and after placement of Fou?
Salute,
Recently I came across with the phrase le tour de magie, here tour is meaning trick, is that right? Would it be useful to include this meaning as well at this lesson?
Bonsoir
J'ai manqué mon père.
Mon père me manque.
Is there a difference?
Salut. "Dont" c'est un pronom relatif qui me confond toujours -- quelquefois je me sens que je le comprends un peu mieux.
"Un traitement antirétroviral prophylactique est proposé à celles dont la test est positif"
Pourquoi dont? avec quoi s'accord il? peut-on dire ".... a celles pour qui la test est positif"?
Cueillir changes the 'ir' to 'er' before adding future endings, right?
and Vieillir keeps the 'ir' ending before the future ending.
Is there a list of regular 'ir verbs versus irregular 'ir verbs?
Thanks.
Pourquoi "par an" au lieu de "par année" ?
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"?Find your French level for FREE
