Hello,
Can you help me understand the use of "en" and "y" as replacement pronouns in the sentence "J'en profiterai pour y aller avec lui"? I understand the general rules as explained in the lessons, but in this case I don't understand why they are both being applied. Wouldn't you just use "y" here to replace "la banque" ? Why are both "en" and "y" used?
Thank you.
I found this article: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/comparative-adverbs/", explaining how to use: "plus/moins/aussi que" and "plus/moins/autant de/que", and i did the 4-question kwiz at the of the lesson but I feel like I need more practice. Is there a way I could get more practice specific to these subjects?
Is it 'des' because the reference is to some brown hair? I thought it always had to be: les cheveux !
Also, DES lèvres fines , but DE dents blanches! Cecile's response below indicates that "de" = of, while the 'des' related to thin lips means some? Would really appreciate clarification.
In one of the questions - Tu vaux la peine.
As far as I understand, there should be an 'en' between 'Tu' and 'vaux'.
Am I right?
many of my answers were right but you gave me wrong for eg i typed en haut de la tout eiffel you said en somme de la tour eiffel but here again en haut its correct you need to fix this
for: This lady has an unquestionable elegance.
I used "elegance incontestable" and it didn't accept it
I've read the comments and know that this lesson is being reviewed. It can't come soon enough. It really is poorly written, and I'm just not going to test on it until it's edited, changed or whatever. Will try to learn the topic via some other means.
Hello, I had to translate « I would like some more love in my life ». My understanding was that voudrais is used when I’m asking for something to be given to me, such as a drink or object, and aimerais is used when I would like something to happen as opposed to being given a physical object. However, this was marked wrong. Is using aimerais in this example very unnatural? Thank you!
En plus, est-ce que c’est “Vivement” devant un nom pour “I can’t wait »? J’ai hâte de voir le printemps! Vivement le printemps!
Test question:
How would you say «This computer works the best»? Cet ordinateur marche ________.
The answer is given as mieux.
But the lesson says:
Use meilleure when qualifying something as good/better/the best at what it does, i.e. efficient/practical, or good/better/the best in taste (food):
Quel est le meilleur aspirateur?Which is the best vacuum cleaner?
Why is it right for a vacuum, but wrong for a computer?
