I could not understand the phrase "un bon pour les cheveux shampooing" so could not put words in right order.
While attempting a kwiziq test, I came accross this:
Je viens de Hong Kong.
Et
Je viens d'Ottawa.
Why the de with hong kong do not change to d' ...This seems contrasting to the rule I studied about 'les prepositions de lieux'
Is there a difference between "c'est" and "c'était" ? It seems like people use them interchangeably.
"J'ai très faime !" is literally, "I have very hunger" which seems odd. I thought it would be "J'ai beaucoup de faime !" or I have lots of hunger. Why?
a) Je dormais quand tu m'as interrompu OR b) J'étais dormir quand tu... In sentence b) is être redundant as the verb dormir can be used?
What is “dès” in “dès l’âge de 3 ans?” Should it be “des?” I have never seen it with the accent.
Please can you explain why you can say je n'ai rien dit à personne but not je n'ai jamais dit rien?
-cer verbs become ç before -ons
Is there any exceptions？
he knew that : "I was playing football" =direct speech
he knew that I had been playing football=indirect speech
or
he knew that "I used to play football" = direct speech
he knew that I used to play football=indirect speech
How can I create "indirect speech" for these sentences
will you please help me? Thank you
