Le Discours Indirect et DirectBonjour Madame Cécile !
Though, Kwiziq doesn’t have any lessons on this particular grammar topic but I would like to ask a few queries pertaining to this concept -
1. Ma mère me dit, < Lève-toi tôt tous les matins.>
I answered - Ma mère me dit de se lever tôt tous les matins.
Here, the question is whether we have to use “ se lever” or “me lever” ? I had gone through the rules in my grammar book which states to use the infinitive form of the verb after de when the sentence is in L’Impèratif . So, why is “se lever” wrong here ?
2. Il demande, < Aimez-vous les chiens ? >
Now, I wrote - Il demande si nous aimons les chiens.
However, the right answer was- Il demande s’ils aiment les chiens.
I request you to please explain the reasons behind the above two queries.
A small request, as a student, to take a glimpse of my previous question posted few days back. I know it’s quite a tedious question but I hope it’ll be done.
By the way, to take a glance is “ coup d’œil” - an expression I learnt just now !
Merci encore Madame !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
"Adverbs of place and certain adverbs of time usually FOLLOW the past participle:
e.g. tard, tôt,... and some adverbs ending in -ment
Il est parti tard."
But the "correct"micro-quiz answer for the placement of "plus tard" is at the beginning or end of the sentence. Does adding "plus" modify the normal placement of "tard"?
In the sentence "...où j'ai vu les plus merveilleuses peintures préhistoriques de ma vie. ", why is tableaux not accepted as a synonym for peintures. My dictionary makes no real distinction between the two words.
'different' as an adjective ... before or after the noun and why?
merci
What is the best translations for 'They love yoghurt' a) 'Ils adorent le yaourt' or b) 'Ils adorent les yaourts'. If yaourt is replaced with for example 'cereale' would the same principle/s apply?
