I'm a bit confused about the status of indirect objects as described in this lesson (and in the video). To my knowledge of English grammar, in "I speak to Paul", "to Paul" is a prepositional phrase and not a preposition (to) + an indirect object (Paul). Also, as far as I know indirect objects cannot occur without the presence of direct objects.
Can I instead just memorize that you use the pronouns "lui" and "leur" only with verbs that are normally followed by "à"?
Shouldn't the phrase be "tout ensemble" as in "all together"?
The quiz asked for you and she. (You and she need to make a decision.) I wrote elle et vous which was wrong. It had to be toi et elle. Why?
I don't understand the meaning of " préparé des cartons", could someone tell me, please?
Merci
C'est la rue la plus petite dans la ville. It's a specific road in a specific town so why is dans wrong? Just as it's not wrong in il y a une boulangerie dans la ville? (Your example)
Is the singular 'différent' a mistake ?
hi,
when you guys have this sentence as an example un riche comme cresus homme it was marked wrong is that because it should have something else describing the riche? Also as i'm searching to understand this should i treat these as like the similie and metaphors as we do in english?
thank you
