why is it feminine in this case?
I'm curious about the use of the future tense throughout this paragraph. Was that a stylistic decision? In English, I can imagine the same paragraph using either present tense or even conditional tense. Would those tenses also be acceptable in French instead of future tense?
The adjective, vintage, does not agree with its plural noun, vêtements. Is it invariant and is this so because it is a word borrowed from English ? If so, is this the case with other borrowed adjectives, for example super? Thanks for the informative story about Lille.
Hi,
Is there a reason why is there no liaison of the words ´pas envié in the final sentence of this exercise-´Enfin, j’adore les bonbons mais je n’ai pas envie de partager’?
"Je pense que les gens qui considerent ce jeu puerile..." The speaker, the "gens" and the game are all masculine, so why is puerile in the feminine form? Should it not be pueril?
Why is 'Anna' immediately followed by 'elle' ?
In the song "Tu vas me détruire", we have the sentence "Lentement, je m'y noierai, sans qu'un remord ne me vienne". It seems to me this violates the rule that ne explétif is not used when the main tense is not used with negation.
A beautiful and fun exercise! Merci beaucoup. Loved it
The sentence asks how one would translate: "If she could fly, she would go to the moon." ?
My sense is that this is misleading because "if she could fly" is conditional not past continuous. Shouldn't it read "If she flew, she would go to the moon" to avoid confusion?
Thanks, Kalpana
I wanted to ask if you could have the option of listening to this in a beginner speed as it is now, then pick a higher speed after you have gone through the lesson.
Thank you for this great site. I don’t use it as often as I should. Too many courses on the go, but I’m planning to make better use of this site this year.
