Do "living things" include animals?
parce qu'ils restent assez faciles à fabriquer. (ils = les costumes)
Hi, in the sentence above what is the meaning of restent exactly?
Does rester also have an "être" meaning?
I have reported this beforehand, which might have been the wrong thing to do before posting to the Q&A Forum, but it seems my point was missed by the person responding to the report, so I'll try to see if this is a better place for a more fluid conversation.
I'm not a native speaker of either English(though my proficiency level is definitely not low) or French(not so good with this one yet), but it seems to me that both *I'm going to go* and *I will go* can be used for immediate future (whatever ''planning'' arrangements might be), and it's rather ambiguous in the french sentence to deduce that *am going to go* should be used over *will go*, thus to me it would seem that both variants should be accepted as viable answers.
I would be glad if somebody could clear up why one is acceptable, and the other is not.
Thank you.
If I have to say 80 or so, What expression should I use?
Also, If I have to say 500 or so, and 1000 or so, What shoud I use?
Why is example (1) wrong, i.e. dans lequel when example (3) dans laquelle is correct??? Don’t really get your explanation???
Hello, I speak French and some Spanish.. Would love Italian if you could..Please Prego..
we can never use When c'est is followed by an adjective or an adverb on its own, you NEVER use ce sont, even if the thing referred to is plural but can ı use adverb and adjective together??
for example
Est-ce que les livres sont vieux? oui Ce sont tres vieux (Yes they are very old)
I understand how they are formed but I don't understand when they should be used and when they shouldn't be used. I don't understand how to determine whether the verb should be reflexive or not and in what type of sentences you should use it, could you please clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.
can we say that
Est-ce que vous connaissez Pierre? Oui, il est bon etudiant
normally nouns need "articles". but "il" can use without an article for giving an opinion about something mentioned.As you can see There is a noun in the sentence.I am curious about whether it is correct or not?
