Why do you say mangées and not mangé, since it's "Anne a mangé"?
Thanks in advance:)
It seems that meme to express 'same' must be prefixed with the article. The english sentence (forgive me if it is 'not exactly first class english) " i got high marks same as you" would be translated as 'comme toi"....you cannot use 'meme' by itself to mean same?
Is "he felt the same" il s'est senti la même OR il a ressenti la même ??It cannot be 'même'.??
Quelle chanson sucrée! :)
Il est après-midi
or
c'est après-midi
I'm wondering why there is no article before "étoiles" in the phrase "à étoiles multicolores". I was thinking it would be "aux étoiles multicolores".
I came across these examples: 1)" L'hôtel est rue.."My understanding from this lesson is that 'est rue' can only be used with se promener.2) The 2nd question pertains to whether dans or sur can be used with location E.g." L'hôtel est sur la rue.../la place... Could you clarify please.
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?
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.
In the first sentence, could it be où rather than quand, referring back to the 5:45 specified? If not, is it because où is only a restrictive relative, or something else?
