Why is the subjunctive in this case not used with ‘ne'
The sentence "Yet, the brochure was promising" is translated : « Pourtant, la brochure était prometteuse ». Why isn't "Quoique, la brochure était prometteuse" correct?
Since the lesson title includes (+ avoir ), the reference to se méprendre + auxiliary verb être , would be very helpful.
This question distinctly says 'you leave (from) Narbonne' . Narbonne is the port or station or airport from which your transport leaves. Such a construction 'from Narbonne' does not imply that you live there or have any other connection with it other than as ypour point of departure. Quitter seems to me entirely wrong. Unless I am mistaken, quitter implies leaving somewhere you have been for some time, for good. I also don't understand why it is used in the ' leaving work at 7pm' exercise. Thats something the subject may well do every day. Why is quitter appropriate as opposed to partir?
Bonsoir,
I'd like to know if the lack of the "ne explétif" is considered a grammar mistake or if it is optional in writing in the cases where it's supposed to be used when the verb is in the negative form.
Thanks in advance.
Why is “nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux” wrong, your answer says it should be “nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux.? Please would you explain why nous takes a singular ending, as in your examples, you use “nous sommes allés”.
Thank you
