Why can’t i say ‘tout à fait!’ For ‘absolutely’ ?
Button sayes all grammar and vocab but is only a list of !essond. Betty helpful but no. vocabulary to check against. The audibly keeps putting me on b1 but I'm struggling g with this lesson
1. J'arriverai avant qu'ils n'aient mangé.
2. Nous voulons que tu aies rangé ta chambre avant ce soir.
3. J'ai attendu qu'il soit monté dans le train pour partir
I use Avoir when Transitive as is #2 but why avoir in #1 which is intransitive as is #3.
This is the most confusing subject I have encountered so far. Please explain.
Since the beginning of the festivities is a precise and limited event, I thought this would use passe compose "ont commencees." Can someone help me understand why this is imperfait?
And the last sentence: J'ai toujour trouve ca magique," I had thought this would be imparfait since it's ongoing and indefinite.
So you can only use these expressions (attaching 'aine') with the quantities shown above? How would I say '35 or so apples' for example?
Instead of "... améliorer mon français" could we use "... m'améliorer le français" ?
Why is there no de with this sentence? J'espère ne pas faire d'erreurs.
I hope not to make a mistake.As voir is not a preposition, why is être used? Is is because the verb is intransitive in this case? So, its better to not only look for prepositions following the verb, but how it is used? This is my logic, and is it acceptable?
I wonder if it would help to use "anticipate" for s'attendre. Or, even as only a memory tool, "dread" (but not as an actual translation). I think it may be that trying to use (in our minds) expect in two subtly different ways may be leading to the confusion. This tool (or trick) works for me? What do you think?
