For 'Je me suis cassé la jambe'
Why does it use suis and not J'ai, as its passe compose?
Did you know that the position of adverbs can vary in French just like in English?
Hi, just a note, in English we’d never say “Exams revisions”. We’d say “Exam revision”, even when referencing revision covering multiple exams.
Bonjour. I am guessing that using sortir for the release of a film is an exception to the rule. It appears to me that the example provided does contain a direct object immediately following the verb: "Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière." i.e. "la semaine".
- j'ai besoin que tu inclines un peu ta tablette ver le bas,
Is there a rule regarding the position of 'un peu' in the above sentence?
I put it at the end but none of the examples placed it there.
Hello, can you tell me which is correct for House of Flowers ... maison de fleurs OR maison des fleurs? thanks!!
Following on from Henrik's question about distinguishing between singular and pluriel. I heard that she was making multiple costumes (no doubt due to the other mothers' apathy as pointed out below), but the next bit is "j'ai jusqu'à lundi pour que tout soit terminé" . I thought that it would be "pour que tous soient terminés" because multiple costumes. But those 2 options really would sound identical wouldn't they? Would they both be equally correct in this exercise?
I know this lesson is about making questions with inverted reflexive verbs but why is it necessary to have the extra "-t-il" in "Paul se brosse-t-il les dents?" The speaker already said Paul was the subject. Doesn't "Paul se brosse les dents?" work too?
Why sometimes in passé composé the conjugated verbs in plural end with '' s '' and sometimes don't end with an '' s ''.
Ex: '' Elles sont devenues méchantes à cause de toi.''
Ex: '' Ils ont vendu (vendre) des croissants dans la rue.''
When to put an '' s ''?
Thanks in advance :)
Why is there no "en" or "à" in this sentence ?
