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??
The sentence given in English is "Go to bed!" Why isn't it simply "to bed!" to avoid confusing it with "va te coucher!" which is marked as "wrong"?
Hello,
I'm hoping you can clarifying something.
I had to translate the following sentence to French:
This year I remembered her birthday for the first time
I used:
Je me souvenais s'anniversaire pour la première fois.
I was told this conjugation was incorrect and I had to use "je me suis souvenue".
I don't understand why?
Thanks in advance.
Hi - Could someone explain why the phrase 'mais elle a toujours aimé cet instrument' is in the perfect tense and not the imperfect? Doesn't the sentence imply that her 'liking' the instrument has no definite time frame and there is no indication of when or if she ever stopped 'liking' the accordion? I also have the same question as Drew and Maren regarding 'mais elle l'a réussi' as an alternative answer to 'mais elle l'a eu'. Thanks!
I love the audio on this lesson. The pauses on the punctuation give more life to the language.
What I had understood that verb attendre is not followed by any preposition….elle attendait de m’entendre…. Why are we using de here ?
J'ai sorti la poubelle. In this case there is No agreement, and avoir is used with a verb that usually uses etre. Could you please explain what grammar is applied in such cases, and/or direct me to a lesson on this subject? Thanks
I understand around 70-80% of the audio on B1 level. Although, due to minor errors, i score myself around 45-50 out of 60 most times. Is this the right level for me, or should i just move on to a harder level (B2). Also, out of curiousity, do these exercises really help in improving listening ability? I ask this because in real world scenarios, we would not have the opportunity to replay the audio when people are speaking to us. I would like to know if this is a tested way to improve listening comprehension, since this is my priority for now...Thanks!
I wonder how this audio passed the Quality Control department of LKL. The speech was too fast to be understood by a learner even at B1 stage.
One of the quiz questions: Nous ________ une fois par mois. We have money wired once a month. HINT: virer de l'argent = to wire money
The answer is listed as "Nous faisons virer de l'argent une fois par mois." Could it also be "Nous faisions virer de l'argent une fois par mois," since it's a repetitive action?
