Lesson: Nous trouvons que vous ....... trop de bruit. We think you make too much noise. I used the subjonctif of fassiez and you say it’s faites which doesn’t seem to be subjonctif. This notebook lesson doesn’t help with my issue. What do I have wrong? Thanks for your help.
"Jacques est descendu du haricot magique." was translated to: "Jack got off the magic beanstalk." I answered, "Jack climbed down the beanstalk" and it was marked wrong. Larousse clearly states that "descendre de" (using etre as the auxiliary verb) means "climb or climb down". Hence, my confusion.
I enjoyed this writing exercise but it could have been better if there were links to the necessary vocabulary. For example the "right size" was difficult to find just using a dictionary to look up words individually and I could not even find a word for sneakers!!
This is in one of the green callout boxes in the lesson: "In this negative structure, you only use de or d' in front of a vowel or mute h." This really confused me when I first read it because it seems to say you shouldn't use either one if there's no vowel/mute h. I think a comma or parens would make it clearer: "In this negative structure, you only use de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h)."
Could I also say "pardon" for sorry, in this case? Thank you.
In the audio example of «Mange dans ce restaurant ! Manges-y !»
I head something like
[mɑ-ã-dã ce rɛstorã. mɑ:Ʒ-zi:]
Can I have a comment on it?
Question..What does ''Mon amie non plus.'' mean ?.. answer My friend neither.
“My friend too.“ Is given as a mistake.
.. maybe a bit too correct.. whilst my friend neither is grammatically correct, how many of us would actually say that? I think most would more often say “my friend too”.. meaning” my friend agrees with me!
"marcher a l'ecole" translates to "walks/is walking to school" so why was this marked wrong?
