Sometimes I barely begin a sentence when I must have hit a key accidentally which skips me to the following line, ie I cannot complete the last one. This time I was trying to type e for équipe (for team) in the second to last line, so it must have been a numbered key?
I have mentioned time as six heures quarante-cinq why it is marked wrong
Why is it “on s’était donné...” but “on s’est inquiétés”?
I knew it must be Je, but it sounded like Tu.
why there's not il/elle; nous; ils/elles?
In the case where demeurer is used to mean to physically remain in a location, does it take avoir or être? This usage doesn't seem to be a verbe d'état, because a location isn't really a state or an attribute... or is it?
Larousse uses the example « La voiture est demurée au garage ». In this case, is au garage a state? Is demeurer being used as a verb of state?
Grevisse (§814 b 4°) makes it even more fun, with « [...] en France, où j'ai demeuré quelque temps » and then « je n'étais pas [...] demeuré à Paris ». Why use avoir with the first, but être with the second?
Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on this!
i just dont understand how je suis is tu es when its vous etes
When to use étre and avoir?
The english translation seems same.
E.g: I had....
Please help!
Hi, I really enjoyed this exercise but want clarification on the sentence "Elle était en larmes !"
I would assume that this action was a one-off, not a continual state, so I used the passé compose (Elle a été).
Is it because the sentences prior all used the imparfait?
Thanks
This question was on a test. Write "I play tennis.": Je ________ tennis. Did I understand the lesson correctly?
Does the answer match what the lesson is teaching? (I can't see or remember either at this moment, but I copied the question before leaving the test page.)
