What do you need to do to improve your CEFR level?
Hi, is there anybody know how to get through B1, especially its grammars? I have been starting this level for a month and I think it's extremely difficult. At this point I just wanna give up and I start to hate French to be honest :(
I wrote 'Martin aime Sarah ' for the sentence Martin likes Sarah but it was corrected to 'Martin aime bien Sarah'. I know 'aimer 'is tricky and I studies the lesson but still don't understand the difference.
In the 4th sentence: entre chercher les œufs et les manger, why are these verbs in the infinitive form. I thought they would be in the gerund. Thank you!
If I want to say ‘after I did something’ when do I use the construction ‘après avoir + past participle’ and when do I use ‘après que + indicative tense’
Or, could I use either?
The question in the test was: ‘you went to the cinema after studying for your exam’
I used ‘après que tu as révisé pour ton examen’ and it was marked wrong. The correct answer being ‘après avoir révisé pour ton examen’
À la bibliothèque
I answered.......... à moins que ce NE SOIT un peu trop long?
The correct response was....... à moins que ce SOIT un peu trop long?
I thought "à moins que" was followed by the ne explétif?
Is this type of sentence structure formal? I am having difficulty in knowing which is formal and which is informal. When will a sentence like this be used?
I would greatly appreciate if there was some sort of guide for this. Thanks!
