Can I write "C'est le mien" for It's mine
Hello,
I have a question. I understand how to use the inverted question when you have a vowel -t . But my question is is there an easy way to understand when to use either the Estimate ce- que or the inverted?
Thank you
Nicole
"I really need you to find out the reason why it's not working anymore,"
Regarding the above please explain why the imperfect tense is used for the verb trouver (trouviez), I would have thought that either the present tense (trouvez) ... "you find out"
or the future tense (trouverez) ... "you will find out"
would correctly translate from the English text?
Thank you.
Why is it "bien que ton papa et moi soyons en manque de sommeil" rather than "bien que ton papa et moi ayons été en manque de sommeil"?
Is cuillère à thé a fixed phrase meaning a teaspoon for measuring? The lesson says à generally means what something is used for, however, this phrase would then mean "a spoon for tea," not a "teaspoon."
I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.
Hi. Could you please send examples of negation with object pronouns and conjugated verb + infinitive? So for example are these sentences wrong:
Je ne veux pas les y retrouver?
On ne peut pas y en acheter? On ne peut pas y acheter plus?
I have another question about the use of passé compose with s’en aller. The text states: en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.
Would the example Nous nous sommes en allés be better as Nous nous en sommes allés? It doesn’t seem to flow as well.
Merci!
In this phrase from the solution to "Un voyage de rêve", the word "nous" presumably refers to a father, mother and children. So why the final "e" in "envoûtées"? I'd use "envoûtés" here.
