The answer to the following question was question was fasses.
Il faut que ________ l'exercice.You must do the exercise.HINT: ¨tu¨ form
I answered "tu fasses de," and it was incorrect.Why is "faire de l'excecice" incorrect?
So - how would you say - "That shirt suits you well, but it doesn't fit you"
Yes, I know there are other ways to express this eg. "It suits you but you need to find a smaller size". But I'm specifically looking for how the two are differentiated using 'aller a'.
TIA
From the fourth to the seventh. Why is it de quatre au sept and not du quatre? From the explanation it seemed clearly to be du in the lesson. What did I get wrong in this particular case? Thanks.
Hi, the lesson states that 'même si' means 'even if' and 'even though'. There are no example sentences of 'même si' being used in an 'even though' context.
Do I assume that all the 'bien que' ('even though') examples would work equally well if 'même si' was substituted for 'bien que'?
Some references say the following meaning about the verbs:
-sortir = to bring out
-sentir = to do
-repartir: to answer back,
is this true?
Merci!
This answer appears in the writing challemge: "Pre-date stress".
The question was "All afternoon, he'd rehearsed in his head"
Why would the answer not end in "la tête"? Or at least allow both la and sa?
Isn't this a similar case to "il s'est gratté la tête" (He scatched his head) where the body part belongs to the subject of the verb.
Why vos adorables créations and not vos créations adorables?
I've noticed sometimes long adjectives are placed before the noun. Is there a rule that covers this?
Hi! Could anyone elaborate on why "à part" is incorrect au lieu que "séparément" as well as "poursuivre" for "continuer"? Thanks in advance!
Hi there I am wondering if you could explain why the Lui is used in l'accordeon lui touchait le menton instead of L'accordeon qui touchait le menton ? So it would literally translate to " the accordion to her touched her chin "
Sincerely
Una
I still can't wrap my head around when you use the subjonctif passé instead of the subjonctif présent. Can someone please give me a couple more examples?
Merci :)
