Hi,
I am a bit confused of what you would change this to. Would you change à sa tanté to lui or leur?
Thanks
As in this sentence we are talking about Cecile(female), so why we use "anglais" instead of "anglaise"
«Certaines d’entre elles ne comprenaient pas»
why we use l'imparfait instead of lle passé composé?
Hi - I'm having a great time taking the tests - and I miss some questions simply because I don't have the accents on my keyboard. - Otherwise enjoying it!
This is the first lesson I've run across that is confusing, so that's pretty darn good! There are no examples of third person plural except the irregular one, so a novice has no idea what the third person plural rule is for regular verbs. Please update so make it clear that aient is indeed the ending for regular as well as irregular verbs (maybe by using a regular verb as the example since this page is supposed to be about regular verbs). Thanks.
Why is pouvoir in the phrase, "...but my parents told me that we can only keep one..." translated as "nous pouvions" rather than "nous pouvons" ? ie. The use of the l'imparfait rather than the present tense.
I know that we used "voulais" earlier in the sentence, but that was expressed as the past, "I wanted to keep...". Does the use of the l'imparfait earlier in the sentences necessitate the use of the l'imparfait with "pouvoir" also?
Merci !
Can I not write "depuis la naissance de ma fille" en place de "j'ai donné naissance à ma fille"?
Can I not write "seulement" instead of "ne...que"
Finally, for the sentence "et ceux pour lesquels c'est impensable" I wrote "et ceux pour qui cela est impensable" I used cela and not ce because it referred to an idea in previous part of the sentence. Please explain why cela is wrong here or why c is correct.
Thanks in advance!
England doesn't have provinces! The way England is subdivided is frankly horrendously complex, however, it suffices to say that the examples given are of counties.
The word province, when it doesn't just cause confusion, is more likely to mean the "regions" because some of the original post-WW2 proposals for an official top level subdivision of England used this term.
What is the difference between « cet costume vous va bien » and « cet costume vous convient »?
