Dear team
I was wondering if I could use "en plaçant or mettant" instead of "en posant" .
Perhaps "en posant" is used in a physical sense ?
Thank you again for all your help !
I understand how they are formed but I don't understand when they should be used and when they shouldn't be used. I don't understand how to determine whether the verb should be reflexive or not and in what type of sentences you should use it, could you please clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.
Why "la tentation a été trop forte" and not "la tentation était trop forte" or "la tentation avait été trop forte". Or do the translators usually use "was" for "has been". Is this an English phenomenon, as "was" is the "past of the past" ?
Does envoyer a (with accent) take lui or leur instead of le, la or les? Thank you!!
question was write 25 to midnight, previously been told that past noon should use 24 hour clock so wrote vingt-trois trente-cinc , but yet again it wrong and said minuit moins vingt cinq
que les enfants ont-ils fait?
does it work like that
1. can I say 'je les ai sentiées.'?
2. and when and how can I know how and when to use 'Lui' 'leur' 'leurs' etc? Is there a lesson about how to use them and their meanings?
In the phrase 'ils se sont donné le mot' why is donné not plural ?
Je ne suis pas vraiment le foot mais je me souviens du "coup de tête"!
In the sentence "qui vient d'accueillir son premier animal familier" - Why are we using "son"? I've read the lesson still don't understand. Is it because of it being used generally?
In the sentence - "Je dirais que le plus important est d'apprendre à vivre ensemble" why is there no "chose" involved to mean "the most important thing"?And in that same sentence, why is it that "De" is used to express "TO learn"? why not "à"?
Also in the sentence "ce soit bon pour un animal de rester enfermé" is the "De" required because of "être"?
And lastly - "la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner" why did this sentence get knocked into the subjunctive?
Apologies for all these questions but this exercise really got me confused!
