Bonjour. Je ne sais pas ce que signifie cette phrase : Le Nord d'Arabie ne différait pas beaucoup des possessions persanes.
Le verbe Différer est intransitif ou transitif dans cette phrase ? Parce que cela signifie différent, nous pouvons dire :
Northern Saudi Arabia soon accepted Iranian domination;
or
It was not much different from the parts dominated by the Iranians.
Et comment pouvons-nous comprendre qu'ici, "Des" est une article contracté ou un article indéfini ?!
I spelled out fatigue without an accent and it was marked wrong. How do you do that?
Could someone please enlighten me as why 'son' is used in this sentence. If the sentence was, 'We suffer from THEIR lack of attention', then, son is replaced by leur. What is the grammatical basis for this structure?
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.
I was expecting to see “j’ai encore retardée mes achats” because the speaker is female. Does the exercise use “retardé” because the object of this part of the sentence is “achats” (a masculine noun), and not the female speaker?
Why is "à la" used and not "dans"?
She lives, physically, in the countryside.
It seems if she came "from the countryside" it would be "à la".
Is this just one of those "this is the way it is, and not subject to the dans/en rules"?
I don't understand why we use "année" instead of "an", it seems to me that according to the lesson below, we should be using "an".
An vs année, matin vs matinée, jour vs journée, soir vs soirée to express a time unit or a duration in French
How do I distinguish between "l'a défini" and "la définit" from speech? Are there any clues to point at the tense used?
Does this mean numerous people and ancient cultures? I ask because I would have expected the phrase to be numerous ancient people and cultures but for that to be the case wouldn't anciennes have to be masculine to reflect the mixed gender of the group of nouns?
