A million years ago when I was at school doing French dictees, the teacher would read out the punctuation. Would it be possible to do that, too? I don't feel like docking points off my score because I put a full stop rather than an exclamation mark!
Hello there,
What is the difference/nuance between this two sentences?
Je ne vais jamais à Marseille.
Je ne suis jamais allée à Marseille.
Isn’t there a chart of some sort to help with this topic.?
Bonjour,
I'm confused how to order ne..que in the present tense in 2 following cases:
I only eat sweets
I eat sweets only
Merci d'avance.
According to the lesson linked to in this exercise ( Using "devoir" in the imperfect tense versus the compound past in French (L'Imparfait vs Le Passé Composé) ) "mes parents devaient" would mean "my parents were supposed to" and "mes parents ont dû" would mean "my parents had to." The exercise asked us to translate, "My parents had to drive me" so If this exercise isn't incorrect, then that lesson on Devoir is missing important information of some kind.
Hi,
I have read the below but it's still not clear to me. What is the difference between:
J'ai descendu les escaliers...
Je suis descendu du train...
To me, according to the lesson, it seems like "It was the last time that you told me you loved me" and "It was last time that you told me you loved me" could both be acceptable answers for this phrase. The lesson says to use "la dernière fois" to mean "last time" when it's followed by a clause. Is it not followed by a clause in this case - "que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais" - and therefore could mean "It was last time" as well as "It was the last time"?
