The speaker sounds like he is pronouncing the 't' in 'ecart', which should be silent. It almost sounds as if he is saying: "Ils ont cinq ans d'equatre".
When I listened to the word "ecart" in the Collins online dictionary it had the correct pronunciation with the 't' being silent.
Otherwise, I enjoyed this exercise and learned a new word: "ecart". And, now, I don't think I will easily forget it either!
I have seen that the verb retourner is used with "Y
Nous y retournons demain.
We go back there tomorrow
"Il n'a pas pu retourner de la guerre.
He couldn't return from the war.
Can I say
il n'en a pas pu retourner
He couldn't return from there
Does it work like that?
Hello,
Your one of the writing practice exercise suggests the translation for "and the accordion used to touch her chin" as "et l'accordéon lui touchait le menton !"
In the lesson above there is no example of usage of pronouns such as "lui".
That is why I am lacking this concept.
Please add this part also above and let me know so that I can enhance my knowledge on the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ashish
salut! Dans la paragraph dessus, j'ai vu le présent soudainement tandis que les reste des phrases sont en plus que parfait ou le passe composé. vous pouvez exprimez cette difference merci
Hello .
I was asking why is it .that some words are join when u speak them and other are divided when u speakin..why
A test question under this topic was "La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes." However I am not sure why the grammar is "est de plus de..." instead of "est plus de..." The translation, "is more than..." doesn't indicate the need of an extra "de".
This question was asked in a previous quiz, and the answer was you cannot tell the gender of the ‘“amie”. I understand that the ending e makes it a female friend, but if the question is verbalized, that is not available information. In the quiz I just took, the answer is ‘a woman’. I am confused as to how to answer this question in future quizzes, as two different answers have been given.
Why is my answer incorrect when I have a hypothetical "si" clause. The lesson said passé composé is never used with a "si clause". The correct answer used future conditional for the verb être. Thank you.
Why is "que tu m'as fait." translated as "you gave me" -
Je me souviens du premier cadeau que tu m'as fait. / que tu m'a donné?
I remember the first gift you gave me.
Can someone explain the structure of this phrase: "j'ai cru à une blague de mes amis"? I would've thought the translation would be more like, "J'ai cru que c'était une blague de mes amis".
