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!
« Elle me rappelle Paula. » - She reminds me of Paula.
What would happen if you wanted to replace Paula with a pronoun? -> She reminds me of her.
Is it? - « Elle me lui rappelle. » or « Elle me la rappelle. »
Can you still not say in any context « Elle me rappelle de lui? » (De being forbidden)
Would there be a difference in meaning between using avoir vs. ètre when saying I’m late/early? The English translations show the exact meaning. So is it ok if someone were to use ONLY avoir OR être?
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?
Cecile,
I believe, 'Alice never listens to you.' would be:
Alice ne t'ecoute jamais. Sorry, I don't know how to put accents with my keyboard
In the lesson it states:
"When last time is followed by a clause (last time I saw you), you can only use la dernière fois, and never la fois dernière."
but there is a question that asks "_______, Henri est venu me voir." ("Last time, Henri came to see me") One would assume the answer would be "La dernière fois," but that was not listed as an option for multiple choice.
Instead, it says that the answer is "La fois dernière" (the other multiple choice answers are: Dernière fois/ Fois dernière/ Une dernière fois). Is this because there is a comma, so "Henri came to see me" does not count as a clause following "Last time,"?
Every time I do this exercise I make the mistake of translating 'who helped viewers chose what to watch' as 'qui aidaient les téléspectateurs à choisir ce que regarder' rather than 'quoi regarder'. Why is quoi the preferred translation?
Why doesn't the article change for médecin (Il y a un médecin et un médecin femme), when it does so for professeur (Le professeur s'appelle Eric. La professeur s'appelle Noémie)?
