I am confused about the questions regarding Sentir bon and Se sentir bien. For example the sentence ‘I smell good’ can refer to two different things in English. ‘My sense of smell is good’, or ‘I physically smell good.’ How do we know which the question is being asked when the question is posed in English to be translated into French. I believe there would be a difference in translation, am I correct in this thought?
I would like to know more about the use of past participles as adjectives. Could you please help me .
Hi, this question is in reference to your lesson on when verbs with the auxiliary of avoir have to agree :
Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)
I'm wondering about the second verb in this sentence: "Ils ont essayé d'échapper aux Nazis et entassé/entassés dans la rue." Even though the COD is in front of the 2nd verb (entasser), it is the COD for the first verb, essayer. Thus, the second verb, entasser would not be plural?
Think I've grasped qui v que (the youtube video v helpful) but am struggling with when to drop the e or i before a vowel. Any advice please?
Just done a test when one answer was ce qu'est and this one below:
Julien doit partir, ________ est triste.Julien must leave, which is sad.quelce quiQu'est-ce que sont les mots pour "winery" et "winemaker"?
Why does mais "elle l'a réussi" get marked wrong, in lieu of "elle l'a eu?" Are they not synonymous?
Please will you explain the answer to this question : How could you say "The boys with whom Marie is playing are her brothers." ?
The answer given in the quiz is that that the first and second answers are correct. I don't understand why " avec quelles " is correct and not " avec qui"
Les garçons avec lesquels Marie joue sont ses frères.Les garçons avec quelles Marie joue sont ses frères.Les garçons avec qui Marie joue sont ses frères.
