Salut! Je suis juste curieux, qu'est-ce que ça veut dire précisément que "les cloches apportent les œufs...?" Est-ce que ces cloches de Pâques deviennent vivantes et alors apportent les œufs, ou est-ce que la sonnerie des cloches font apparaître les œufs dans les jardins? Ou est-ce que c'est quelqu'autre chose entièrement? C'est fascinant! Merci beaucoup!
Le mot est magnifique, bien sûr.
Why is au cas où il y’aurait du soleil not acceptable?
The model provides this sentence:
Nous mangerons dans une heure.
But a quiz corrected my response of
Nous mangerons dans trente minute seulement.
With
Nous mangerons en trente minute seulement.
My understanding was that "will" was the cue for "dans", but evidently not. Any clarification will help. Thanks.
hi im new here i just want to say hi
Following an answer in a recent quiz I took, an apparently acceptable way to say I remember Quebec is "Je me rappelle le Québec."
The rules of how and why this is acceptable are not explained in this lesson, and it doesn't conform to what I've learnt elsewhere. For example, the definite article is left out when expressing like/dislike of cities: "J'aime Paris et Londres."
When and why is it acceptable to use the definite article (rather than de) immediately following "se rappeler"?
Why the use of the subjunctive in "un avenir qui nous plaise"?
In the examples, to know a recipe uses connaître. When used in the quiz for pumpkin pie recipe, connaître is wrong and saviour given as correction. Please elucidate.
is the correct answer. What is wrong with 'Sont-elles cassees, mes lunettes?' C'est la meme chose, non?
