Bonjour à tous,
I've come access this sentence somewhere using "être on train de" in Conditionnel passé tense:
I would have been skying in the Alps if I hadn’t broken my leg.
Je serais en train de skier dans les Alpes si je ne m’étais pas cassé la
jambe.
I think we must use avoir (in Conditionnel présent) + être (in past participle) as follow:
J'aurais été en train de skier....
Could you explain which one is correct?
Merci beaucoup d'avance.
I know que and a vowel is qu' but does the same rule apply to qui?
It’s the first time that I’ve come across « faire revenir » in culinary terms. Is it used over « faire dorer » for that manner of cooking or can either expression be used ?
Could you just confirm whether, as a woman, I should be writing
Je suis allée..
Je suis partie... etc..
Thanks
Is there a lesson that clearly compares when to use each of these. I'm struggling to distinguish between the three and was hoping for a side by side comparison.
Thanks.
I am unclear why in the test question - Chacun a .... faute, the correct answer is "son". Faute is a feminine noun so why isn't "sa" correct?
I know full well that you include 'que' here (as a subjective pronoun follows) so why don't you put 'that' in the English example so as not to mislead into a deliberate wrong answer (We have the teacher that we wanted). This is out of order.
I have no idea what this story is about. Very frustrating. Also, the audio was way too fast and running together.
Why the use of the subjunctive in "un avenir qui nous plaise"?
