Why is it emue and not emué here?
Is there a way to avoid going all the way back to page 1 of the Q & A section when what is wanted is, for example, on page 7? By the way, the vast majority of the answers provided seem to be clear and appropriate and are much appreciated.
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!
Several times you have used "profiter de" to mean to enjoy. The dictionary I looked at defined profiter a to mean "to be of benefit to" and profiter de as "to take advantage of." Neither of these seems (to me. at least) to imply to enjoy or to take pleasure from. Why do you choose to use it rather than something like prendre plaisir de or some other more enjoyable-sounding term? ( Sorry, but the computer doesn't seem to respond to the holding down of letters for which an accent or other diacritical mark is needed, so my questions are grammatically incorrect......)
I used touchant in the above translation rather than the given "emue." I was wondering if there was a semantic or connatative difference between the two or are they interchangeable.
what about the " avoir besoin de"?
je la besoin? or je lui besoin?
There are many dissimilarities between the French Candian (Quebecqois)and Parisienne French!
Bonjour,
In one of the questions, ""Il a huit amis, dont cinq sont anglais", I see "sont" being used. But in all the examples in this lesson, no verbs are used in the "dont" clause.
Can I then also say, ""Il a huit amis, dont cinq anglais" ? Could someone clairfy?
Merci.
1-can we replaces "y" with verbs which have infinitive verbs
2-can we replaces "en" with verbs which have infinitive vers
for example
1-J'ai besoin de dormir----- j'ai en besoin
2-je chosis de faire mes devoirs
