Is complète an acceptable alternative to 'finit' ?
My understanding is that for a general comment, 'C'est' is used when followed by any determiner.
If a color derives from a real thing or a you have color + a real thing the color adjective never agrees according to the lesson. Therefore, I am confused as to why an example in a quiz marked the following incorrect:
X une chemise bleu marin
I am given : une chemise bleue marine as the correct response
Marin is sailor or seafarer which is a real thing. This lead me to believe there would be no agreement.
"Jacques est descendu du haricot magique." was translated to: "Jack got off the magic beanstalk." I answered, "Jack climbed down the beanstalk" and it was marked wrong. Larousse clearly states that "descendre de" (using etre as the auxiliary verb) means "climb or climb down". Hence, my confusion.
Si qu'aiment-ils means 'what do they like" comment on dit "who do they like"???
Can qui be used instead of ce qui in the sentence
ce qui lui donnait les joues une douce teinte rosée
many of my answers were right but you gave me wrong for eg i typed en haut de la tout eiffel you said en somme de la tour eiffel but here again en haut its correct you need to fix this
Selon Grevisse, on n'est pas obligé d'accorder "on" au féminin ou au pluriel quand le sujet est bien défini et féminin ou pluriel (voire les deux).
For "I usually sit down in a corner" I wrote "D'habitude, je m'assois dans un coin". None of the four suggested solutions included "D'habitude" (or variants). Was I just plain wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, just to make you aware, the audio for “remplacez-le juste par une cuillère à café de miel” only says “remplacez-le juste”.
Bonjour,
Est-ce que c'est ne pas mieux à dire " je me promener" en lieu de je marche?
Merci
