Why passé simple is used in sentence instead of le subjonctif
'When it's not cold I sleep outside'. Dehors is suggested before it comes up in the English so if one adds it to the translation prior to it appearing, it becomes an error. The suggestion needs to come after 'when it's not cold'.
For "I won't write here all that I've done wrong", the answer uses the conditional "je n'écrirais pas ..." . Shouldn't we use the future tense in this sentence (i.e. "je n'écrirai pas ...") ? Thanks.
normally we use the "pire"(which means worse) for comparative the adjectives) but can we use it like that
je nage pire que toi=I swimworse than you
does it works like that?
There is no verb "to go" i.e. "aller". Your answer to this question is "... going to ski"", but the sentence is " faire du ski" !
I think the audio was too fast for me. Please make it a bit slow as I cannot understand.
Hope it will help me.
Why is it, "Elle a monté les escaliers..." and not "Elle est montée les escaliers"?
Is it 'des' because the reference is to some brown hair? I thought it always had to be: les cheveux !
Also, DES lèvres fines , but DE dents blanches! Cecile's response below indicates that "de" = of, while the 'des' related to thin lips means some? Would really appreciate clarification.
