Well i bounced the question of prof / professeur off my neighbour's kids who are at secondary / high school, and to a person they replied prof or professeur. They regard "instituteur / institutrice" as a primary school teacher, and " l'enseignant(e)" as a general word for those in the teaching profession, although if it's at university level "professeur" is the norm. They should know and i'm not going to argue with them. And anyway, the prompts were clear and specific just as Cécile said so i can't see what the issue is ??
HI,
Example 3 and 4 are incomplete in english translation. Please kindly take note.
Hi Team,
For clarity, I would suggest a sentence change:
Original: With the "above 12 o'clock" times (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart ...
Suggested: When using the 24-hour clock (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart ....
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am wondering if two sentences below are correct. Please assist. I would appreciate your help.
1. Nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux.
2. Vous vous êtes rasés ce matin?
Faithfully,
Viacheslav
What about temps
Nous n'avons plus de temps,
I thought time was a non-count noun
Why is 'enchanté de vous rencontrer' a commonly used french expression not listed among the correct options for 'Pleased to meet you' ?
I assumed "dont" would be the correct answer since the relative pronoun is for "se servir de" which is a verbal phrase.
I thought "de laquelle" was only used for prepositional phrases ( près de, à côté de, autour de, etc)
However, both answers are marked correct. Can someone please clarify this for me, please?
when would you use je deteste over je hais
"C'est qui qui" is not grammatically correct but used as an example (see above). If listed as a multiple choice option on a quiz, will it be marked wrong if chosen (because it's grammatically incorrect). Just curious.
When n’avoir plus de is followed by countable object. Is the object always in plural form?
