Hi, I think this lesson is too long and needs to broken down to smaller chunks!
why in this exercise is the nous form used one time and the on form another when they are both times speaking about what they will do together?
Sinon seems to be the only word accepted for 'otherwise' (as conjunction meaning 'or else') in this exercise. Autrement gets the strikethrough, although Céline gave it the green light in a response previously.
In the example from this lesson, why is “de” used and not “des”?
What does he prefer to drink? : ___ il préfère boire?
The correct answer is marked as > is incorrect.
Any explanations will be much appreciated!
Dans cette phrase: ..."puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot de votre choix", est-ce qu'on peut écriver aussi "puis nous déjeunerons dans..." ? Ce n'était pas claire qu'on doit utiliser le futur proche dans cette phrase.
Is there some reason you don't cover Le Passé Antérieur in your lessons? Although it's probably not common, I'd still like to understand the structure. Am I correct to translate "I left after I'd eaten" ... or ... "after I'd eaten I left" as
- Je fus parti aprés que j'eus mangé
- Aprés que j'eus mangé, je fus parti
And am I also correct to translate "you left after you'd eaten" ... or ... "after you'd eaten you left" as
- vous fûtes parti aprés que vous eûtes mangé
- Aprés que vous eûtes mangé, vous fûtes parti
In both cases I'm not sure if both verbs use antérieur form, or just the "after" verb?
Why is it not “avant le dîner” in both examples? In the example with Je doit it’s just avant dîner.
Would the following also be a correct translation?
J’ai dû me résigner à appeler un taxi
as an alternative to: -
il a fallu que je me résigne à appeler un taxi
