Why is the subjonctif présent of "partir" used in the above sentence when the sentence refers to the past tense? It was written in English as "Before they went to live over there". Why is it not "Avant qu'ils ne soient partis s'installer là-bas" ? Can someone please enlighten me? Thank you.
All the examples are with the verb ETRE.(TO BE). Is it correct to assume that this construct can work for ALL(??) 'copular' type verbs. I can't see it working with non 'copular type' verbs.
1)He looks great..and she does too == il a l'air bien et elle l'a l'air aussi(not sure of this one)
2)The roses smell pleasant and the carnations smell pleasant too== les roses sentent agréables et les oeilets le sentent aussi(smells ok to me).
etc etc!!
3)what about a sentence like "she became angry then they became angry too== elle s'est mis en colere ensuite ils le se sont mis (??)
Just asking 'for a friend' could you add a note in the lesson that the direct object pronoun occupies its usual place before the verb ...although it is acting like an adjective,
Would this sentence be correct?
Je me réveillé à huit du matin. Nous sommes allées du faire shopping. Lorsque je suis rentré. Je pratiqye Mon français et je regarde le télévision.
Je nettorai ma chambre demain. Aussi je parle à Mon copain. Sure le telephone. Aujourd'hui je Marche dans mon visions.
Merci pour votre aider
In the last sentence pour sounds like au …. Infact in some other exercises also I have noticed that “pour “ actually doesn’t sounds like pour.
Est-ce que les français emploient souvent des mots comme "petit" devant quand. Par exemple, pourrais-je écrire "Saoul, quand j'ai bu trop de vin, je ne me sens pas bien"
Which is correct?
Je me suis réveillée tard aujourd'hui ou
Je me suis réveillée en retard aujourd'hui ?
Please explain.
How does one write the sign for euro in this exercise ?
Merci.
Because of the 'hint' that 'the action was completed' I changed my initial answer from 'Ce Noel etait' to 'Ce Noel a ete' - but I find it's 'etait' in the above version.
I also had used the word 'etincelantes' but this was scored out and replaced with 'brillantes'.
This is by no means the first time that similar things have happened and I'm a bit peeved that I've had to mark myself down needlessly.
What would "some teacher" be in french if not -"un professeur"?
If it was "some teachers", It would have been ... something else?
