No, he hasn't got a degree (marked wrong)
No, he didn't earn his degree (correct)
I simply do not understand what the question is meant reflect. The point is not explained.
Why is "leur" the object pronoun for la police when la police is a singular noun?
Is prendre l'air an idiomatic expression? What does it mean, please? (e.g. to put on airs, to act in a certain way, etc.??)
Hi, with reference to “la Belgique a la plus basse proportion de McDonald's par habitant.””
In French, is the apostrophe really used in this way? It looks like an English possessive apostrophe.
Bonjour Madame Cécile !
This question is regarding a fill-in-the-blank test posted this week on the following link -> https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/blog/une-envie-de-changement-pluperfect-practice/
The last sentence reads- Quand elle avait vu ma nouvelle coupe, Flora en avait eu le souffle coupé.
I am unable to understand why the pronoun "en" has been used here and what is its relation with "le souffle coupé" .
Why does the second sentence translate as- 'Flora had been totally blown away.'
Merci beaucoup Madame pour m'aider encore.
Bonne journée !
Pour quoi "les Mienes" what if the speaker is masculine
I would like to see my own translation again alongside the correct one.
Why does the first word have its final “e”? Is is agreeing with the feminine noun “fin”?
Also, is the first word best considered as an adjective or as a past participle in this sentence?
It seems that requérir can double as meaning both "require" and "request",
despite the fact that the translations you gave for it were:
requérir (to require/call for [something])and did not mention 'request':
(Nous requérons votre présence à cet événement.
We're requesting your presence at this event.)I wonder - why you said 'j'ai passé (de nombreux après-midis)' when every other past tense is written as the imperfect? Every thing done here was a repeated past action.
