I assume it may mean "how unlucky of being pregnant" but how do I know to add the " de/d' "
< Il va rester dedans > is being red-lined for "he is going to stay inside", but it is correct too.
I was marked incorrect for writing , which is perfectly good French. Is there a nuance I missed?
Why is "de" necessary before "l'or" in this sentence since we're speaking of gold in a general sense?
Also, the prompt asked for "At night" but my translation "La nuit" was corrected to "Le soir". Shouldn't this be for "In the evening"? Thank you for your help!
Le soir, la ville se réveillée.
Le soir, la ville se réveillait.
This is in the context of a visit to this city, which came alive in the evening. Until then the shops were closed and the streets empty. The text book answer was NOT in the imparfait. What is the rationale applied here?
How to choose properly, whether should i use disjunctive pronouns or COI. Je telephone a elle or Je lui telephone? A real conundrum to me!
Why is example (1) wrong, i.e. dans lequel when example (3) dans laquelle is correct??? Don’t really get your explanation???
“This lesson is kind of confusing me. At school I learned that the superlative must come after the noun unless the adjective would come before the noun, and in that case the placement would be a choice. The French About page on superlatives also states this rule. So wouldn't "Marie est la plus intelligente fille de la classe" be incorrect?”
I am also confused and would appreciate clarification.
Hi,
I was wrong when choosing “ tombée” in “ Marie- France est ( tomber) de son vélo”. I agreeed the gender of subject( in this case, I think it ‘s feminin) as “learn and discuss says. Why? Is it that the subject here falls sthg ,not the subject falls. And past participle has to follow the gender and number of object in this case? Thanks.
