“Savoir la vérité” is not a proper turn of phrase; using the verb connaître is the correct way: “connaître la vérité”.
So there were 2 questions, and this is how it went,
Le treize mars= the 13th March
Le quatorze juin= the 14th of June
And it told me that "the 13th of March" is incorrect. Is there a specific reason for that? Cause it seems like Le treize mars and Le quatorze juin have the same build..
Il ne faut pas de partenaire. Can one use this to mean "You don't need a partner."
A hint in the first question suggests "use vous form" in "votre (oeuvre d'art favorite)". But later, speaking to the same person comes the response "Je suis d'accord avec toi". Is there a reason for what appears to me to be an inconsistency? Same two people speaking.
Why do we use "c'est aussi" to say "it was"? Also why "c'est le premier octobre" to say "it was the first of October"?
I wonder, what's the matter with question 1 in the quiz. I answered it 4 or 5 times and each time the result was the same three out of four! But I didn't mark the answer which says ICECREAMS, so I'm disappointed
when is the object before the verb eg je lui parle and when after je parle a lui
The English is 'normally received WITHIN 10 days' - this seems to be a perfect situation for use of 'd'ici', but this was not indicated as correct.
This sentence in English means something along the lines of 'you may receive the article any time, but you can expect it by 10 days from now'. In other words, don't start ringing us to ask about it until after at least 10 days.
I am not convinced that either 'en' or 'dans' as described in the lessons are better fits. It is not a statement that delivery/receipt 'takes 10 days' to happen, or that delivery/receipt will occur on the 10th day.
By + [point in time] = d'ici [moment] in French
En vs Dans with time (French Prepositions of Time)
Je ne comprends pas quand on parole du temps, pourquoi le mot "quart" ne doit pas être d'accord avec les heures ; pendant le mot "demi" doit changer.
Merci beaucoup!
Hi
I have a question I'm learning about the inversion in the conditional present and I was wondering about these two sentences?
Why do you not conjugate passer?
(Could we) passer Chez vous après le spectacle? Pourrions- nous is the answer
But with this sentence
(Would he) signer cette pétition? Signerait- il would be the answer
I'm very confused and help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Nicole
