Hi, I really enjoyed this exercise but want clarification on the sentence "Elle était en larmes !"
I would assume that this action was a one-off, not a continual state, so I used the passé compose (Elle a été).
Is it because the sentences prior all used the imparfait?
Thanks
le numero de trapeze: qu'est ce que ca veut dire?
Le trapeze volant est un genre du cirque,mais je ne connais pas le mot le numero de trapeze.
I just took a quiz with this question:
Si vous _____________________, signons ce contrat !
(If you agree, let's sign this contract!)
I selected: "êtes d'accord" and the Kwizbot said that I was partly right and that "étes d'accord" was also correct. I'm new to this course, but have never seen this alternate accent for êtes and didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the learning page for the lesson. Is this really a common and acceptable way to write the word?
Thanks,
Mark
Dear Kwiziq team,
I would be grateful if you could explain how the past participle is formed, there is nothing about this in this lesson and I think that it would be useful to know it so to use the Passé Composé correctly. Could you please explain.
Merci,
Apostolos
Pourriez-vous expliquer l'exemple "Nous n'habitons pas ici depuis très longtemps.", s'il vous plait ?
Merci
In 1990 L'Académie française produced a document changing the spelling of certain verbs, and I quote:
5. Verbes en -eler et -eter L’emploi du e accent grave pour noter le son « e ouvert » dans les verbes en -eler et en -eter est étendu à tous les verbes de ce type. On conjugue donc, sur le modèle de peler et d’acheter : elle ruissèle, elle ruissèlera, j’époussète, j’étiquète, il époussètera, il étiquètera. On ne fait exception que pour appeler (et rappeler) et jeter (et les verbes de sa famille), dont les formes sont les mieux stabilisées dans l’usage.
Should this be reflected on this site?
A bit confused.. just taken a test and this question..
Write "I am in front of the school." : "Je suis ________ l'école."
I used “en face de” which is marked as incorrect. Devant certainly works but why is en face de wrong? Linguee is happy with it!
Hi there Could you use the verb " jouir" to mean enjoy in this sentance as well ? "Nous avons joui de chaque minute"
Sincerely
Una
Why was l'imparfait used? I thought lepassé composé would be a best fit for the sentence.
For wild boars, can we use 'le marcassin'?
