"De" and "des" has puzzled me for years. I interpret this as "dolphin show" or "show of dolphins" which would be the grammatical equivalent of "la mère de Paul." But, the right answer is "des." That would seem to be "I would like to see the show some dolphins" in my mind. Can somebody help me with the grammar that applies here?
It would be helpful to have the dictation slower, or at least become slower as one needs to hear it repeatedly
The key is "quand nous aurons quitté".
Why does the "quitté" not need to agree with the plural form of "nous" here?
How does one write the sign for euro in this exercise ?
Merci.
...shouldn’t the verb be se brosser ?
According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school."
When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à).
Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated.
Why can't it be "aux fêtes" since the sentence is "at parties"?
The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.
Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?
I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').
