Is it correct that simply the duration itself can express a duration in specific time frame, and 'pendant' is optional? For example:
1) J'étais là pendant 45 minutes = J'tais là 45 minutes
2) Je me brosse les dents trois minutes à chaque fois = Je me brosse les dents pendant trois minutes à chaque fois
3) Nous sommes restés à Tokyo pendant 10 jours = Nous sommes restés à Tokyo 10 jours
4) Combien de temps vous avez resté = Pendant combien de temps vous avez resté?
Thank you.
Bonjour! Je suis étudiant. Pouvez-vous m'aider avec cet exercice?
Écrivez 3 phrases avec en, 3 phrases avec y. Vous pouvez utiliser les verbes: avoir besoin de, se souvenir de, parler de, penser à, réfléchir à.
To make the distinction clearer between the 1st and 2nd examples at the start of this lesson, instead of the translation, 'I don't care about the other options' you may wish to add 'THE other'
How can I post my own lessons on lawless french?
I do not understand why appelée was used, and not appelé, and I do not think the explanation below is correct. Le Passé Composé here has nothing to do with Emma’s gender, as it surely has to agree with il. And why, then, would the suggested answers use téléphoné, and not téléphonée ?
Conjugate verbs (+ être) in the pluperfect tense in French (Le Plus-que-Parfait)
"Elle était déjà partie quand je suis arrivé"I have a playback problem... the first time I play this it is fine but second and subsequent omit "elle".. if I go to another phrase and come back, it still happens and need to reload the page to get back to the full recording.. this seems to be happening in about 50% of the playbacks on this page.. the others are absolutely fine and seems no rhyme or reason.. happens on other pages as well.. don't think it is my iPad.
'As you can see, we only ever use the vous form.'
Does that mean you use the vous form even if speaking to a friend with whom you'd normally use 'tu', or does it mean you wouldn't use vouloir imperative at all with such a person (in which case, what would you say?)
Could I also use 'prudent' instead of 'vigilant'?
im sure this has been asked already but I can't get my head around why imperfect is used for "les festivités commençaient VERS vingt heures" and then past tense is used for "VERS vingt-trois heures trente, tout le monde s'est dirigé vers le terrain de foot" when both sentences says towards a time ???
