What is the difference between « cet costume vous va bien » and « cet costume vous convient »?
The lesson implies that "vieux" and "ancien" follow the same usage rules as "neuf" and "nouveau", i.e. objective and subjective, respectively. But according to the lesson on Movable Adjectives, in the case of "ancien" at least, it is the placement of the adjective before or after the noun that determines whether it is translated subjectively or objectively.
Which lesson is correct?
Hi , the point I was trying to make in my question immediately below was that the lesson states that the subjunctive applies after 'vouloir que' where a desire for "someone else" to do something is involved. In the sentence that I quote it is 'something else' that is involved i. e. son film, and not "someone else".
Could you please clarify.
Thank you
When ı had a look at the irregular adverbs forms I saw that the irregular form of "le plus mal" was "le pire"
isn't it incorrect? Because when I investigated it I saw that it must be "Le pis"
C'est lui qui danse le plus mal He's the one who dances the worst. (I think this is correct)
C'est lui qui danse le pis He's the one who dances the worst. (I think this is correct)
C'est lui qui danse le pire He's the one who dances the worst. (I think this must be incorrect)
Am I wrong?
please help
Je ne peux pas apprécier cette humour ! C’est simplement pas quelque chose avec laquelle je peux identifie; pas rigolote; ridicule au plus.
Can I use l'imparfait instead? : "Je n'aimais pas le goût de la viande"
'ne pas aimer le goût' is a past habit, has no clear begining and end, as well as expressing an opinion. Why can't we use l'imparfait?
Why is fascinee given with a feminine suffix in the sentence "Je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion d'y aller, mais ca m'a toujours fascinee." What does it refer to? Le cimitiere, peut -etre?? It doesn't appear that there is a feminine object for it to describe. Please explain
Hello,
I am doing the A1 reading passage for the Cher journal and the sentence I'm confused on is. Il me reste des crosissants du weekend.
I know il me reste is a direct object sentence but not sure how the meaning of the word reste is used here.
I think it means he has leftover croissants?
Thanks
Nicole
Hi,
In the line "pour prendre le goûter", you cannot hear "pour" being said and it seems like it starts on "prendre". Can this be fixed please?
Thank you,
