Bonjour,
I think that the Futur Proche follows the rule in this lesson but I could not find any confirming examples. Can someone confirm that the following sentence is correct?
Je vais nettoyer l'appart pendant que tu seras partie.Thanks,
John
I put "Elle" because it is a specific house, but the website says the answere should be "C'est"..why?
I really enjoyed this exercise. Maybe I still have a bit of that young child in me, but I found it very useful in learning some of the vocabulary. And, fun, too.
My question: "Les livres etalent leur savoir..."
Since one cannot tell from the dictation if "savoir" is singular or plural, would it be incorrect to write, "Les livres etalent leurs savoirs..."? This was the only mistake that I made, and I hesitated as to whether or not I should use the singular or the plural. I chose the plural, "leurs savoirs" since each book would have its own individual knowledge to show off rather than the books showing off a shared knowledge together.
Maybe both could be correct: "leur savoir" and "leurs savoirs" in this case.
Merci pour votre aide !
A few years back, when I still lived in Brittany, my cousin Sarah and I rented a camper [US: RV] and for two weeks, we travelled up and down the west coast of France. ... During that trip, we also learned how to change a tire...
Il y a quelques années, quand je vivais encore en Bretagne, ma cousine Sarah et moi avions loué un camping-car et pendant deux semaines, nous avions voyagé partout sur la côte atlantique française. .... Pendant ce voyage, nous avons aussi appris à changer une roue...
From slamming all our money to earning decently our crust, from putting butter in our spinach to sea urchins in our wallets, not to mention pierced baskets, silver spoons and more - we sure have learnt a lot of strange and bizarre new things in this very 'different' dictation this week. Hahaha. Thanks.
In the sentence in the south of France the answer is le sud but in a previous exercise (Bastille Day) it was du sud. Are both acceptable ? Also in the best answer it is C'étaient but in the final paragraph it is C'était. Are both correct or is this an error?
Mercedes est refusée!! Est-ce que ce n’était pas le prénom de la petite amie d’Edmond Dante avant qu’il soit emprisonné sur l’Ile de Montecristo?
Je ne comprende pas ce qu'il faut faire......
Not really a French question, but how do you type a dash to get a "your answer matched mine" in the writing exercises? Even if I write exactly the same as the model answer, if the phrase begins with a dash the computer doesn't credit me with getting it right. Is it something to do with the number of spaces before or after? Or is there a type of dash I'm not using?
Frustrating as I challenge myself to get 3 or 4 "matches" per exercise, but this means half of my attempts have no chance....
why is the sentence wrong? " je suis désolée qu'ils s'en soient allés sans que l'on puisse leur dire au revoir. the "s'en aller" is wrong ... explain why.
