This is in one of the green callout boxes in the lesson: "In this negative structure, you only use de or d' in front of a vowel or mute h." This really confused me when I first read it because it seems to say you shouldn't use either one if there's no vowel/mute h. I think a comma or parens would make it clearer: "In this negative structure, you only use de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h)."
can I say j'ai mieux couru que toi? doest it work
Run into a problem with this one.. I am interpreting cheating as an ongoing state rather than something that is happening at this instant and, from the choices available, thought "être trichants" to better reflect that than "en train de".. this was in a general test and not specifically testing "en train de"
What would be the best way to say... "He realizes you're cheating."?
Il réalise que vous êtes en train de tricher.
Il réalise que vous êtes trichants.
To avoid having listening to the whole segment again just to try to catch the syllable or two that you can’t quite get. Maybe upload these to YouTube, which provides this function natively.
Is there away of knowing when to use en/ Dan's when refering to some of the above examples? Why would it not be right to say "Je crois dans la vie après la mort??
Hi Team,
For clarity, I would suggest a sentence change:
Original: With the "above 12 o'clock" times (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart ...
Suggested: When using the 24-hour clock (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart ....
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I supposed to try and read aloud along with it or just listen to it? And somehow, if I hit the pause button in not exactly the same place, I get 2 voices reading at the same time. And it doesn't rewind? I just have to listen straight through?
Je vais à Paris.
devient:
Je ne vais plus de Paris?
ou
Je ne vais plus à Paris?
Merci :)
In the song Jalousie by Angele, in saying the English question, "Who is that girl in the photo", why does she say,
"C'est qui cette fille sur la photo" rather than "Qui est cette fille sur la photo"?
Is this Walloon French, since she is from Belgium? Thank you very much.
Bonjour. I read the lesson. The lesson does not seem to advise when it is appropriate or better to use être or faire. Does it absolutely not matter? Or are there situations where être may be better to use than faire, or vice versa? Merci.
