Bonjour,
I think I need more explanation about 'se balader' with more examples.
Bonjour Madame Cécile !
While attempting a kwiz ,I was provided with the following sentence ->
Les enfants ont rangé les cadeaux _________ sapin de Noël .
The answer marked correct was -> au pied du (at the foot of)
However, I would like to ask whether the options - “au dessous du / autour du” are correct ?
Just wanted to convey a small request-
Whenever, you feel free and comfortable, kindly help me ( as you always have done) with my queries which I posted lately as follow-ups .
Merci encore !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée !
In the suggested translations for 'that already makes two items', 'Cela fait déjà deux objets' is preferred over 'Ca fait déjà deux objets'. But since the register is informal rather than formal I had thought that 'ça' would be more appropriate. Or are there other reasons you might prefer 'cela'?
Hello.
Could you also say
"Je vous souhaite une belle/bonne journée"?
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.
When would one use "le trafic" and when "la circulation"?
Not sure who to ask this question, or if it is the wrong box.
How is that I can read French, paper, books etc, but have problems with speaking and writing the language.
I really would like an answer as my feedback is not really helpful
In the first exercise of the day I answered ‘y’ instead of the correct ‘le’. In answering a question in the following exercise I entered ‘le’ instead of the correct ‘y’. Very frustrating! This, after reading both lesson explanations several times over the last few months. This is an observation, not a question. Not your problem, it’s mine. But may I suggest preparing a quick lesson that includes both pronouns. If it already exists please point me to it. Merci !
