I think the translation should be “charm your jury”, not “seduce your jury”, as the latter has a sexual meaning.
I did not understand the differences in how "to take care of" translates into french?
In example question 1 of this lesson, you say: "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt ? Oui, ... crois." (Do you believe he'll get there soon? Yes, I believe so.)
Doesn't "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt?" mean "Do you think it's coming soon?".
Shouldn't it be "Croyez-vous qu'il y arrivera bientôt?"
I understand that, as a general rule, in French, we add definite articles before a country’s name. E.g.: J’aime la France. However, I also understand that if the country’s name comes after “de”, and the country is feminine, then, we omit the definite article. E.g.: Je viens de France. However, I am terribly confused by the phrase “Au service de la France” - why is there a definite article after “de” in this phrase?
Probablement pas. Mais quelle innovation, si c'est vrai. J'adore cette idée d'utiliser les voix de personnes célèbres.
The problem here is not my knowledge of conjugating the verb, but being able to get the accent on the e from my windows keyboard. How do I do that please?
What the meaning of Dish fumé??? It's really strange, the dish don't smoke... ahahhaha
Why is there no "en" or "à" in this sentence ?
Can someone please explain the second part of this sentence (in the "Tip" box of the lesson)? I'm not clear what "...and not regardless of which, like with verbs such as..." part of the sentence means.
You won't use this in Indirect Speech where whether = if and not regardless of which, like with verbs such as se demander (to wonder) or savoir (to know).
