1/ Nous avons froid quand vient l'hiver
2/ Nous avons froid quand l'hiver vient
bonjour.
Is it wrong to say 'Elle va gagner la course'? Why must it be Elle gagnera la course?
Merci
Bonjour. Comment corrigez-vous les fautes d’orthographe dans la dictée ? On perd un point avec chaque faute ? On commence avec 65 points ? Si c’est le cas, pourquoi ? C’est le nombre de mots ?
Merci de votre explication.
Cueillir changes the 'ir' to 'er' before adding future endings, right?
and Vieillir keeps the 'ir' ending before the future ending.
Is there a list of regular 'ir verbs versus irregular 'ir verbs?
Thanks.
Les deux loup garous regardèrent l´un l´autre longtemps, avant d'attaquer !
Why is this answer wrong? I understand we can use "se regarder", which is the accepted answer, but I don't understand why this other option is not accepted (it's from a dropdown where options both were present).
What is the reason why the repeat the words like vous in "vous vous appelez?" Is there any history about it? Im just curious, thank you.
Is opposé used rather than en face de ever? In what circumstance would I use opposé(e)? Would I be understood if I used opposé and not en face de? Merci.
The rules you give are quite useful. Thank you.
One thing that I would add is that I can remember easier if I think in terms of who is actually entering. If the Subject is entering, then we use être, but if the "entering" is being done by someone/something other than the Subject, then we use avoir.
Mes filles sont entrées en CP cette année. -> Mes filles
Nous avons entré les informations dans le programme. -> les informations
This works in other cases where we need to decide between avoir and être. (or where the sentence seems to indicate that the action is not done by the sentence subject)
when is the object before the verb eg je lui parle and when after je parle a lui
