If I wanted to write the sentence below in French, could I, using après que? Or would it have to be reworded? Would I still use the indicative, even though the action has not yet taken place and is uncertain, or is this a case where après que might take the subjunctive?
“After you arrive/have arrived home safely, then and only then will I go to bed.”
Bonjour,
Can you break down this sentence for me please? I can't quite understand the last 3 parts why it formed forever :)
Merci!
I answered "Nous avons peiné a" rather than "avions du mal à". I think struggle is the better translation.
In the article we mentioned answering simple questions with "ni l'un ni l'autre" like:
Quel parfum tu veux ? Fraise ou vanille? - Ni l'un ni l'autre.
The "ni l'un ni l'autre" is used to replace "parfum", which is the object of the verb. Are there any instances where ni l'un ni l'autre can be used as a direct object or an indirect object in a full sentence? Thanks!
The test I took only accepted "faire rissoler". Can you not also say "faire dorer"? Or is that a Canadianism?
I got the following question wrong because I didn't know what 'South America' was in French. Clicking on the 'Learn and Discuss' button lead me to this lesson, where South America is not mentioned. In fact, the 2 links presented in this lesson for learning more also don't contain a list of continents. It's only in the 2nd link of this lesson (En/au/aux = In/to with countries and continents (French Prepositions)), that it mentions South America in an example, rather than as part of the main lesson. Perhaps this lesson should contain a list of continents if it's going to be linked to by the below question:
________ est un vaste continent. South America is a vast continent.Bonjour,
Do we exclude the subject pronouns when a reflexive verb is involved in a question? i.e.: Qui te rejoint tous les matins?
Appreciate any related links/lessons on this :)
Merci!
