Bonjour,
Could someone please explain why the auxiliary before apparu is était rather than avait ? The whole sentence is:
Je me souviens encore distinctement de la manière dont j'étais restée bouche bée lorsque cette belle dame, qui avait l'air d'être faite de paillettes, était apparue gracieusement sur cet étrange engin.
Merci, Matthew :-)
Is it correct? "J'ai faim parce que je ne mange pas le déjeuner"
What does this really mean? I don't understand the french nor the english translation.
Whilst I absolutely get that 'vouloir que' is followed by the subj., whu isn't the above a suitable answer to the question - how would you say' I want you to be home by 6pm?'
Why does the adjective sometimes come before and sometimes after the noun???
Lisa est une très bonne vendeuse.Lisa is a very good sales assistant. Maurice est un professeur excellent.Maurice is an excellent teacher.Hello,
I have a question. I understand how to use the inverted question when you have a vowel -t . But my question is is there an easy way to understand when to use either the Estimate ce- que or the inverted?
Thank you
Nicole
Mon ordinateur ne march pas bien. Il a saute quelque pages et je ne le peut pas renverse pour les completer. Je voudrai repeter l'exercise du debut, et ne pas registrer les resultes de cet examen. Merci pour votre consideration et aide.
