« 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)
Why passé simple is used in sentence instead of le subjonctif
I'm wondering if A2 exercises will also incorporate A1 lessons or if everything is self contained? I skipped a lot of A1 exercises because I was about 40% into A2 prior to starting and wanted to finish the level.
Will I have to go back and complete A1 exercises in order to test myself of that criteria, or would it be included in A2 exercises? I just don't want to forget some random A1 lesson because I never see it again, especially as I start moving into higher levels.
I was not able to understand which verb is used in this sentence for the imperative?
The last sentence is given as "Comme ca", but "Comme" doesn't come through in the recording. I played it a few times, including after knowing the answer, and it was cut off.
Remember that possessive pronouns agree in gender and number with the *owned* item (son billet / sa carte / ses parents).»
In the lesson, son,sa,ses have been referred to as possessive adjectives in one line, and possessive pronouns in the line immediately following. In general throughout the course they have been referred to as 'possessive adjectives' (as in French they are always followed by the noun modified, this would seem to be correct).
Is it possible to use à instead of 'en' when saying "Je suis à ville."?.....Thirza0
Noting Joan's question previously (~1 year ago) and Cécile's response, I have to ask why «dehors» is/was not recognised as an option in place of «à l'extérieur». I know the usual - can't cover every possibility - reason. However, in practice (at least where I am currently in the east of France) «dedans» and «dehors» are far more commonly used to express inside or outside (the house), and à l'intérieur or à l'extérieur are rarely heard. Suggest this very common and applicable alternative should be recognised.
I really did not understand some of this. What does "Ainsi font, font, font" mean? Also, the meaning of "La taille courbée" and "le front penché". Finally, "s'en vont" confused me. Are they going somewhere? Help!
