It would be helpful to have the dictation slower, or at least become slower as one needs to hear it repeatedly
This question comes up again. In the corrections, "les maisons surmontées par une grande église" and "les maisons surmontées d'une grande église" are both suggested. I thought "par" was closer to "by" in English and "de" was closer to "with." Is this wrong?
Wouldn't it be d'endroits magnifiques?
I feel as if the explanation is missing something because it is contradicting the same rules it is proposing, as I doubt it has the wrong answer?
Hey, please what's the difference between "Je m'ai fait peur" and "Je me suis fait peur"? Which is more correct and why? Especially since faire is conjugated with avoir in passé composé.
Is ‘its been a long time since ‘ always followed by a verb in the negative? Some language sites seem to have sentences without a negative.
Il est vingt-deux heures = 10 PM
Il est vingt heures deux = 8:02 PM
Just making sure.
You have two different lessons that both cover regions and states. One says to use "en/au/aux" and the other says "en/dans l'/dans le." (I'm simplifying just to point out where they differ -- there's more info than that, but other than that they don't clash.)
The article that includes "counties" in the title doesn't actually include any counties. The article that includes "countries" in the title does include counties.
So maddening. Both lessons need to be rewritten.
Please can you explain why you can say je n'ai rien dit à personne but not je n'ai jamais dit rien?
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,
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
