I understand now that:
In French there is no “like” as in English. Something doesn’t smell like chocolate, it just “smells chocolate”.
So, you would say: Ça sent le chocolat
But how would you say "Who smells chocolate?"
Qui sent le chocolat ?
Whereas Qu'est-ce qui sent le chocolat is the longer way of saying "What smells like chocolate"
Is this correct?
Or would you have to say something like: qui peut sentir le chocolat ?
I am confused. Sometimes Ayez is used sometimes Ayons is used.
For example "Ayez confiance mes amis" I was corrected from Ayons
But here is one example Ayons foi en notre force .
Is there a rule or we just have to know, like vocabulary
Bonjour. I notice that the 's' of moins is not pronounced even though a vowel follows. Is this just a rule, that you don't 'faire la liaison' with the word 'moins'?
'Some' in this sentence can be thousands of people, we cannot use 'quelques' in this case, is it? But using de numbreux sounds subjective
I understand this is plus que parfait, but shouldn't it be avait fait? Why is there an e here?
One of the fill-in-the-blanks exercises has a line, "En novembre, je fais antichambre."
What does this mean, (as it's quite foreign to my American sensibilities)??
hi,
I was wondering when there are more than 2 adverbs in the same sentence how do you know which one to put first?
for example you guys have un paysage incroyablement beau.
thanks
