Regarding the question asked by Kyaw: perhaps the lesson "Nouns that are plural in English but singular in French, and vice versa" could have a few more examples added, including words such as 'vaisselle'. This is only a suggestion!
According to the lesson on this subject 'se faire' + infinitive is used with a reflexive verb and 'faire' + infinitive when it's not reflexive so I'm confused.
I have an older Collins dictionary which uses the French word, poste, for shift in this context. There are several other suggestions but the word, garde, is not even mentioned. Should I get a new dictionary?
Why is the letter "l" of the verb s'appeler doubled in all persons but the first and second plural?
À la bibliothèque
I answered.......... à moins que ce NE SOIT un peu trop long?
The correct response was....... à moins que ce SOIT un peu trop long?
I thought "à moins que" was followed by the ne explétif?
That was an interesting article that Maarten linked regarding the inclusive French writing which is being promoted by various people. I am interested in how they pronounce words with middle dots such as "militant.e.s" or "ecrivain.e.s" (or are they only used in writing for the moment?)
M'y answer feels awkward and is clearly wrong but i cannot find anywhere on the site that deals with when you need to use ici rather than ils n'y habitent plus in this situation... Think it needs là as well.
The help just takes you to ne..plus
Ils habitent ici? - Non, ils ________. Do they live here? - No, they don't live here any more.n'habitent plus icin'y habitent plusCan someone help? I learnt what I thought was a beautiful French expression with 'comprendre' which meant basically "I am confused". It woud be in a form like "I am confused please explain it to me more".. with the verb comprendre.
This lesson reminded me of it but I cannot recall the precise syntax now! Anyone? Thanks!
In the sentence “Depuis qu’elle s’est fait mal avec le couteau l’année dernière” , why is it not “faite” as the subject is elle, or is it because it’s le couteau that hurt her and not a feminine object noun ?
When does one use the word "menage" to mean "household"? And when is "bizarre" the right word for "weird"
