I used "car" for "because" and it was marked wrong. Is there a certain situation we need to use "parce que" instead of "car"?
The question 'The last time he came, he didn't behave himself.' is confusing as this could refer to a series of visits rather than a final visit. Therefore either 'la semaine dernière or la dernière semaine '' could be correct
I understand when to use "de" as well as "de l" for vowels, however i also noticed sometimes "du" gets used which is confusing. Came across one of the posts by Tom in the comment section: j'ai besoin de soutien - I need support (general)
J'ai besoin du soutien du gouvernement - I need government support (specific)
How come this is still correct which still contains the word "support" with a different article: j'ai besoin d'un soutien financier and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien financier,
This actually confuses me the most:
j'ai besoin de soutien and NOT j'ai besoin du soutien. Last i checked, le soutien est masculin.
Hi
I have a question!
Is it ok to use like this?
->C’est la saison vraiment idéale!
Why past tense is used here? Why shouldn't be present tense as she still like playing the instrument at present time.
So there were 2 questions, and this is how it went,
Le treize mars= the 13th March
Le quatorze juin= the 14th of June
And it told me that "the 13th of March" is incorrect. Is there a specific reason for that? Cause it seems like Le treize mars and Le quatorze juin have the same build..
why is et elle adore les livres and not des livres? is't it loving just books and not some specific "definite" books?
Hello rooms and experts
Please clarify why the second of the two options is not also grammatically valid ?
1) La fille dont il a tombé amoureux
2) La fille avec laquelle il a tombé amoureux
I have read your answer to Liz and it still is not clear concerning “why is using dans le to indicate being in an actual dance class wrong?”
According to the notes: “dans + article + noun is used to refer to an actual physical place.”
A “dance” class is not specific enough??
Dear team
I was wondering if I could use "en plaçant or mettant" instead of "en posant" .
Perhaps "en posant" is used in a physical sense ?
