"Aussi+adverb que+ Subjonctif" is it gramatically correct or not?
I know I can use "Aussi+adjective que+ Subjonctif" But I am curious about using this form with adverbs
For example:Aussi vite qu'elle coure,jamais elle ne me rattapera=no matter how fast she runs she will not catch me?
Hi, in the line
“Second, express your deepest feelings.”
for which the answer is
“Deuxièmement, exprimez vos plus profonds sentiments.”
Should this be “Deuxième”. Same point for Troisièmement & Quatrièmement.
How to type the accent marks into my answers
My apologies for having multiple questions on this lesson. It is not that the lesson is unclear. It is that the two test questions that test the understanding of the lesson are awkward if not downright counter productive to reinforcing the lesson.
For example: the lesson states that when 'avoir + descendu' is used with an animated being as the object then it means to kill/shoot that being. Unless the test question really means that Jack took the giant's dead body(and hence no longer animated (LOL) ) downstairs then it is misleading and confusing. In English "to take someone downstairs" simply means to usher them to your basement.
Could I also say "pardon" for sorry, in this case? Thank you.
Étranger - Moyen-Orient; Étranger, toujours - à Paris; Bretagne, enfin - (Chez nous)
Brilliant and so true. Bretagne - je l'aime beaucoup !. We have a nephew living there, and we have a friend there who is dedicated to preserving the Breton language in the face of the onslaught from - - - French !
M'y answer feels awkward and is clearly wrong but i cannot find anywhere on the site that deals with when you need to use ici rather than ils n'y habitent plus in this situation... Think it needs là as well.
The help just takes you to ne..plus
Ils habitent ici? - Non, ils ________. Do they live here? - No, they don't live here any more.n'habitent plus icin'y habitent plusGoogle translates "tu dois du repos" as "you need some rest." But it sounds like Kwiziq only wants us to use devoir before an infinitive. However, the lesson only says "sometimes you can use devoir" without any explanation or examples. Despite the fact that multiple people have been complaining about this for years!
I think also the English translation might be tripping me up in certain instances. Like "you need to take a day off" in English uses the infinitive verb "to take" but in French it's "you need " which is a noun. It would be nice if the lesson explained that.
I hate having to just memorize the quiz maker's answer without understanding why Kwiziq thinks it's correct.
