What is the reason why the repeat the words like vous in "vous vous appelez?" Is there any history about it? Im just curious, thank you.
The old house where my parents lived. Is it an ancient house that my parents once lived in or is it a modern house that they formerly lived in?
1How would you say: ''The ancient building where my parents lived.'' ?L'ancien bâtiment où mes parents habitaient.Le bâtiment ancien où mes parents habitaient.Le bâtiment ancienne où mes parents habitaient.Le bâtiment d'ancien où mes parents habitaient.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"?
Chris if you're still there can you help with this please? You said
Il se demandait si elle viendrait. -- He wondered whether she’d come. (Indirect speech)
Je me demande qu’elle vienne. -- I wonder whether she’s coming. (Direct speech)
But the lesson says
"je me demande si tu vas venir ou pas.
I wonder whether you'll come or notSo it seems to me that "Je me demande" is used with "si" + imperative and not que + subjunctive. Can you throw any light on this please?
"we were not supposed to be able to come"- I keep getting this kind of error- the first is correct, the second is what I tend to do- not sure if it is passive voice that I am missing, or if there are times when what I think is a verb is being treated like an adjective. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.....
It is futur anteriur which then finishes with futur. Quand ils seront arrives tu iras les accueillir
I could not find photocopier in the Library Index so used Larousse online dictionnaire. This gave both photocopieur (n.m.) and photocopieuse (n.f.) I chose the masculin form so did not mark myself down. Is there a reason to prefer the feminin form?
Would this be incorrect: "On n'a vingt ans qu'une fois" ?
Why would saying "Je suis faim" be incorrect, but "J'ai faim" is correct? aren't these both correct to say "I am hungry"?
The question in the test quiz "Cette année, Michaël ________ perdre du poids" is marked wrong if you enter "doit", it wants "a besoin de". Whilst this is correct in the context of this lesson, as far as I can see looking at the lesson comparing the use of Devoir and Avoir besoin de, the use of "doit" would also be reasonable.
