Why is the form "le + day of the week" used in this exercise? I thought that form was reserved for habitual activities done on a specific weekday, but since it's a vacation it seems like they're telling us what they are doing in the upcoming week only.
Dumb question - It is "Nous nous sommes dit" because the second "nous" is an indirect object so there is no agreement, right?
My native French friend (Paris & Bordeaux based) has never heard of “ Être chocolat”. Is this a local regional expression?
What is wrong with this?
Non, Patrice ne joue plus au football_____. No, Patrice doesn't play football any more.je vais mettre mes valises dans le compartiment. Et leurs valises à eux? Mettez les leurs dans le compartiment aussi.
Why “à eux” at the end of second sentence please?
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 ?!
At the beginning of broadcasts, I've heard things like, "Bonne journée. Nous sommes le mercredi 24 janvier 2024. Commençons notre programme."
Is the "Nous sommes" used formally, or conversationally as well?" Would a teacher say "Nous sommes..." rather than "C'est..," for example? Or if a friend asked for the date, would it be odd to say, "Nous sommes le 24 janvier?
In the sentence 'plus on parle le français dans un pays, plus on y vend de produits français' why is it 'de' and not 'des' ?
Hi, in the alternate possibility that is given, “lorsque l'on termine une tour.” is the “ l’ ” there purely for pronunciation reasons? And could we use “lorsqu’on”? I remember something about it being desirable to avoid the sound of the French word “con”. Do friends in casual conversation care about that, or it just something to bear in mind in polite company?
"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.
