Of this one "pour pouvoir te faire"?
Bonjour,
Is this sentence correct: je ne cours pas du tout pour faire du sport? When to add the pour+infinitif? Example, when you add pour in the example above: Pauline ne veut pas du tout pour dormir -> will mean the same thing as without pour, won't it?
Appreciate all the help!
Merci :)
Arrived here from a Kwiz and given a choice of même and pareille.. i choose la pareille.. which it said was wrong and directed me here for an explanation.. not seeing pareille and any explanation as to why I was wrong?
a. Elle a invité ses amis pour regarder le film indien.
b. Je ne vais pas acheter cette voiture.
c. Lis ce livre !
d. Elle vient de prendre la viande.
e. Il aime moi et toi.
"L'énergie qui se dégage du terrain est électrifiante."I think this should be "L'énergie qui se dégage du terrain est électrisante."
According to Larousse/Robert/Collins (and wordreference), there are 2 verbs for the English 'electrify':
Figurative use (charged atmosphere, give an electric shock to etc)- électriser, with the adjective 'électrisant(e)'
Physical use (provide electricity supply etc) - électrifier, with the adjective 'électrifiant(e)'
can impersonal expressions like il est possible que, il est certain que etc become c'est possible , c'est certain que etc. C'est seems more logical here than il.
Did anyone else have trouble understanding this sentence?
Which one is correct ( pour que tu pars or pour que tu partes ?) just as it is nothing else surrounding those 4 words.
Thank you
I am struggling to understand when to use c’est rather than il/elle est despite having read through the suggested lesson. Can someone please help?
As an alternative to 'il y a environ deux semaines' could you equally say 'il y a deux semaines environ' ?
