I’m not sure about the English “physical efforts” , in my mind “physical effort seems less difficult (to me)”
so “l’effort physique me paraît moins difficile” ?
Why is "on my face" translated with a "tout", as "sur tout mon visage"?
Can we say that if même precedes the noun, it means "same" and if it comes after the noun, it means "very/itself"?
Why is the passé composé used here?
This lesson still leaves me confused about which construction to use.
Kwiziq, I think this lesson needs a little reviewing!! There's much confusion in this for learners at the minute.
"This is a number written in French: "14,052" How would it be expressed in English?"
The correct answer to this is also '14,052' fourteen thousand and fifty two, but I'm told the answer is incorrect. The only reason you would ever put a fullstop in there '14.052' would be to express a very accurate measurement for example '14.052g' - fourteen point zero five two grams.
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?
Can the above adjectives be used interchangeably in this exercise, as only 'hilarant' was provided in the correct options.
Why "qui venait à l'origine" followed by "a progressivement imprégné" ? I think the passe compose describes an event completed in the past. Something that has taken place gradually is not a completed event.
I have seen both of these being used, but I'm wondering if there is a semantic/pragmatic difference between the two e.g:
Il me faut partir
Il faut que je partisse.
Do these two convey a different idea, do they express different levels of formality, or are they completely interchangeable the only difference being that the former option takes less time to say
