"Je vais au parc " was corrected to "je vais dans le parc" Why was the former response incorrect?
"De" and "des" has puzzled me for years. I interpret this as "dolphin show" or "show of dolphins" which would be the grammatical equivalent of "la mère de Paul." But, the right answer is "des." That would seem to be "I would like to see the show some dolphins" in my mind. Can somebody help me with the grammar that applies here?
Bonjour,
Please confirm, are we saying that the hyphen is only used between numbers and never when 'et' is involved?
Merci
In exercise "Fishing with my father C1". Could you please explain the use of devais in
je ne devais pas avoir plus de dix ans. If it's; I mustn't have been... isn't that the passe composse ?
« Les cloches sont passées ce matin pour apporter les œufs de Pâques » but in the other quizz « Il a passé l’hiver dernier à Chamonix ». In my mind it should be avoir in both sentences.
The final transcript and the bottom 'correct answer line' in the exercise still have '...qui émanaient de ce coin de m'ont accompagnéeS .....' instead of just "....m'ont accompagnée" - agreement with the speaker's gender. The upper line 'best answer' indicated in the exercise is correct however. Cécile has answered a query on this previously. (I think I remember correctly what was presented in the exercise, but can't go back to recheck)
I must admit I often ignore 'agreement' like this when a text is in first person singular, and instead just use the 'agreement' that applies to me.
In the phrase "J'entends encore Papi râler comme il descendait..." why isn't the second verb râler conjugated given the subject changed?
uuuuhh..... Where's the transcript, all I have is audio?
On a quiz, it says the answer is “le lendemain DU mariage” not DE mariage. Why? All the samples say DE.
In the lesson, we read that
3. Direct object pronouns le/la/les are placed before indirect object pronouns moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur
Aren't there other DOPs such as nous/vous/me/te? And do those qualify as preceding IOPs?
Thanks!
