The narrator is recalling events that happened on only one occasion and instantaneously. Why does she use the imperfect?
Can you also ask this "Tu t'es levé à cinq heures ?"
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?
Why is je découpais dans les magazines in the imperfect? For me it seems like an action and should be in passé composé.
the last sentence: it is really difficult to understand the beginning.
et elle nous a même donné une chambre avec vue !
it sounds like " et y ...."
Why isn't it "qu'est-ce qui sent comme le chocolat" if the answer is "what smells like chocolate"? It looks like "what does chocolate smell like."
Je crois que le verbe "attendre" veut dire "to wait for". (J'attends ma mère, le train, etc.)
Pourquoi est-ce qu'on dit ici "alors attendre pendant des mois POUR une tomate".
Expliquez, s'il vous plaît.
It’s some consolation to me, having read all the submissions, that I’m not the only one having difficulty with this concept. Has the reconstruction, promised a year ago, been implemented yet? If not, may I make a suggestion? How about, instead of asking "If she could fly, she would go to the moon.", ask instead "If she was able to fly, she would go to the moon.”?
