This is a trick, isn't it. That 'to inhabit' is a synonym for 'to live in' in English is exploited here. Damn you.
I just took a quiz with this question:
Si vous _____________________, signons ce contrat !
(If you agree, let's sign this contract!)
I selected: "êtes d'accord" and the Kwizbot said that I was partly right and that "étes d'accord" was also correct. I'm new to this course, but have never seen this alternate accent for êtes and didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the learning page for the lesson. Is this really a common and acceptable way to write the word?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi, in the first section, why is it “que j’ai réunis” instead of “que j’aie réunis”? I thought that the verb following “que” needed to be in the subjunctive.
Thanks, Brian
Hi there, the last example in the video is:
Je donne une pomme à Paul.
Would the replacement with lui be:
Je lui donne une pomme
What if I wanted to replace the une pomme with la, what would the word order be?
Merci!
I can hardly hear the "ne" in this sentence.
Is the "ne" sound sometimes dropped in real spoken French?
I noticed in all these examples the subjects are not the same in the main clause and in the sans que clause.
What if for examples 1 and 3 of this lesson, I say "He came without telling you." "We decorated everything without bothering you."
Would this phrasing affect how they would be written in French?
Or would I still indicate the subject in both clauses even though the subjects are the same, like such? "Il est venu sans qu'il te dise." "On a tout décoré sans qu'on vous dérange."
Shouldn't there be an accent above the 'i' in apparaitront?
I was marked incorrect for writing "apparaîtront".
Not a question - just a comment. I wasn’t sure if the correct spelling should be “jeux vidéo” or “jeux vidéos” with an additional s. This exercise accepts both options, and so I researched and found that even the French have discussions about this point. Apparently in “le bon usage” the adjective “vidéo” is invariable - but “jeux vidéos” is often also found in common usage (and in Quebec the official French language office has even added this form in their spelling rectifications of 1990, making both spellings legitimate, at least in Canada)
