I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I supposed to try and read aloud along with it or just listen to it? And somehow, if I hit the pause button in not exactly the same place, I get 2 voices reading at the same time. And it doesn't rewind? I just have to listen straight through?
I used posé in "et j'y ai placé les tranches de pomme" and it says it is wrong. What is the difference between the verbs poser and placer?
I was taught (in both English-taught French classes and by French-speaking people) that the use of 'on' for 'we' was very colloquial and borderline bad grammar. I was baffled by the construction of the sentence using 'we' in English. I'm annoyed to be classified as 'lower intermediate' when I am considerably more advanced than that, even if I'm out of practice. I need to practice, but won't get much if I'm getting questions at this level and being challenged only by a confusing usage.
Based on the lesson ¨Using depuis (since/for) with Le Present and NOT let Passé Composé (prepositions of time)" In a related kwiz I translated the phrase: The Woman in Black has haunted this house for centuries, into : La Dame en Noir hante cette maison depuis des siècles which was incorrect although I used the present tense as stated in the lesson.
The correct form should have been: La Dame en Noir a hanté cette maison depuis des siècles which is using le Passé Composé.
Can someone explain this to me please?
I incorrectly did that with the following sentence
Mais quand ma meilleure amie Miriam a décidé de le faire
In the article we mentioned answering simple questions with "ni l'un ni l'autre" like:
Quel parfum tu veux ? Fraise ou vanille? - Ni l'un ni l'autre.
The "ni l'un ni l'autre" is used to replace "parfum", which is the object of the verb. Are there any instances where ni l'un ni l'autre can be used as a direct object or an indirect object in a full sentence? Thanks!
Bonjour!
For the case under Farm, will dans only apply on the word farm or also for other places?
Merci :)
