Could you use se dépêcher in place of se presser?
"Puis je me lèverais sans me dépêcher"
Couple of queries:-
In the sentence ' As I grew up, it was her melancholy ...' the advice is to use c'est. Why not c'était?
and,
In the sentence 'Barbara, as you used to sing (it) so perfectly, our most beautiful love story will always be you., the 'it' refers to the 'love story' which is feminine so 'comme tu le chantais' should be 'la'?
Thanks
Instead of “Après s'être levé, William alla prendre sa douche” would it be correct to use the passé composé instead of the passé simple?
“Après s'être levé, William est allé prendre sa douche”.
Merci
Not sure if this is intended as a contrast, but (ne) sounds like it has an edit attempt, while still being clearly heard and fully pronounced.
Is this type of sentence structure formal? I am having difficulty in knowing which is formal and which is informal. When will a sentence like this be used?
I would greatly appreciate if there was some sort of guide for this. Thanks!
question was write 25 to midnight, previously been told that past noon should use 24 hour clock so wrote vingt-trois trente-cinc , but yet again it wrong and said minuit moins vingt cinq
Je préfère celle de Serge quand même :)
I am not sure when to use: Leur/s, or les, for instance...is it leur with people and les with things?
