give me some examples of pronominal verbs in imperative negative
In another lesson (sorry I don't know the name of the lesson, since I encounter them randomly), you specifically state that this sentence is not correct:
"Elle me rappelle de Paula." How is that different from "Elle se rappelle de ce garçon", which is given in this lesson as correct? It seems that "de" is not allowed in the first sentence but it is allowed in the second sentence.
My verb book gives different version of haïr to yours
The conjugation of repartir in the present tense for vous is repartez and not repartissez, according two different sources. Please clarify. The test marked repartez as incorrect.
Guys i wanted to know if the platform can certify thatbwe reached a certain level of the language? Anything like that one can post it their linkedin or the employment sites.
In this example sentence, "Nous sommes rentrés, les vêtements tout sales et les cheveux en bataille.", why you use tout, instead of tous? Should "tous" be agree with "les vetments" and "sales" in number?
A 'parlement' was not a parliament; the connection is etymological but not semantic. The latter is a representative national assembly, so you might risk translating it either as 'assemblée nationale' or 'états généraux', although you start to move into controversial historical territory here! However, a 'parlement' was an entirely different institution: it didn't pass laws, it was a kind of appeal court. The people gathered there were judges, not (elected or nominated) representatives. In addition, the English, the British now UK Parliament is a national institution, whereas there was one 'parlement' for each regional. The 'parlements' were abolished in 1790, so aren't a useful point of reference for contemporary politics. I'd drop it from your list, as retention unfortunately helps this longstanding misunderstanding continue.
«Vieux» might be considered an exception to this rule, as the adjective has 2 masculine singular forms, but the feminine singular form (vieille) always follows the form of «vieil» , regardless of whether followed by a vowel/mute h or a consonant. I don't know of any others - does anyone else?
