One of your test has this question "Tu ________ une surprise à ta mère." and the answer is Tu fais une surprise à ta mère., which means "You're giving a surprise to your mother." How come its fais when it says to give? which is supposed to be donner. Hoping for a response thanks
Le lac, so The lake, not A lake
I don't understand when to use these two "en" and "le/la". For example:
La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.
I know that "en" refers to La liberté d'expression, but why can't we use "la"?
Why didnt we say : On ne doit pas parle la bouch pleine
instead of On ne doit pas parler la bouch pleine
since it is ER ending verb is that the right way ?
Not the prime purpose of the lesson - but in the examples, why is 'you have been lying' the English translation of «tu as menti» (passé composé) rather than tu mentais (imparfait)? If the English translation was 'you lied' I would understand, as that implies an episode that is finished, but in English 'you have been lying' leaves open ' for a long time' and 'and you still are' scenarios - that is the sense that it could be ongoing and it is unclear when it started. The translation has me questioning (again) what further I need to understand to grasp the nuances of this past tense distinction.
Hi! Could you please allow for the player control to have rewind and fast forward functions?It's a bit frustrating to have to mandatorily listen to the whole audio first if I want to replay just a certain part of it.
Hi, is there anybody know how to get through B1, especially its grammars? I have been starting this level for a month and I think it's extremely difficult. At this point I just wanna give up and I start to hate French to be honest :(
I used touchant in the above translation rather than the given "emue." I was wondering if there was a semantic or connatative difference between the two or are they interchangeable.
When do one use là when talking about "here" because most times I see people write je suis là which they mean "i am here" , but i thought là means there
Explique-le moi stp
Hi,
In the sentence, "au point de faire systématiquement passer nos besoins avant les siens," please explain the usage of "passer" in this case. It doesn't follow the other examples used in the lesson.
Thanks
