In lesson 2 of 10 in A1, on the quiz I was marked as incorrect when I included "He was not..." as a translation for "On..." They said that "we" and "you" were acceptable translations, but "he" was not. I do not understand why not. I watched the video & read the lesson, but it did not answer my question.
Qu’est-ce que c’est le passé composé de montrer, nous avons montres? Pourquoi le s final?
Il me semble un peu injuste de ne pas offrir les chiffres écrits en mots comme option.
It is so opinion on specific thing, so lesson says il est. But get marked wrong, is it because it is about colour? But is still a specific colour not colour in general
I know this lesson is about making questions with inverted reflexive verbs but why is it necessary to have the extra "-t-il" in "Paul se brosse-t-il les dents?" The speaker already said Paul was the subject. Doesn't "Paul se brosse les dents?" work too?
Most often in the use of pqp, one action precedes another. Sometimes the action the plus-que-parfait precedes will not be explicit, but will be implied in the sentence:
Je m'étais trompé de date cette fois-là.I'd got the date wrong that time.Vous vous étiez amusés cette nuit-là?Had you had fun that night?Both these examples, weakly imply, that you were mistaken and had fun in a prior time. I find this difficult to think I would be able to discern the need for the pqp in constructing a sentence. Can you please explain this more in depth? Thank you, Ken
in this case, the correct answer was 'Gérard a su me rassurer. Isn't that saying - Gérard knew to comfort me, rather than 'how' to comfort me?
Selon Reverso, les textes français utilisent les deux. Mais est-ce que tous les deux sont corrects ?
