Hi, I learned the Est-ce que was a formal way of asking a question. So I thought the verb then would also need an inversion, like: Est-ce que avez-vous une voiture?
When do you use the verb inversion? (I heard actually the inversion is almost not used anymore in normal day France)
bonjour!
Alors, je voulais poser un question
"Jpensé si on peux utiliser Nous vous avons les montre "
Du coup, en peux utiliser " Nous leur avons les montre "
Merci en avance
Duolingo gives a sentence:
"You will have to not make a lot of errors during the exams."
The sentence is awkward and the given answer is:
"Il ne faudra pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"
but It also accepts:
"Il faudra ne pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"
as you suggest it should be above. Are both forms acceptable when negating the first of double verbs, is this a unique situation, or is there another explanation?
Just to let you know, the text option that reads “Te souviens-tu du jour” actually has the audio “Te souviens-tu le jour”.
Since the 1990 spelling reforms we should be allowed to write "s'il vous plaît" with or without the little hat (circonflexe) on the "ï", but this exercise doesn't allow us the option of leaving it off (in either of the 2 sentences where it occurred).
Also (and this is even more minor) the "hint" gave us the wrong spelling of "Guinness", although it was then correct in the actual answer.
Salut,
J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi faut utiliser le passé composé dans cette phrase:
On a été extrêmement impressionnés par la profondeur des galeries : on a du mal à comprendre ce que représentent six millions de corps !
Merci beaucoup :)
I was expecting to see “j’ai encore retardée mes achats” because the speaker is female. Does the exercise use “retardé” because the object of this part of the sentence is “achats” (a masculine noun), and not the female speaker?
