Le Discours Indirect et DirectBonjour Madame Cécile !
Though, Kwiziq doesn’t have any lessons on this particular grammar topic but I would like to ask a few queries pertaining to this concept -
1. Ma mère me dit, < Lève-toi tôt tous les matins.>
I answered - Ma mère me dit de se lever tôt tous les matins.
Here, the question is whether we have to use “ se lever” or “me lever” ? I had gone through the rules in my grammar book which states to use the infinitive form of the verb after de when the sentence is in L’Impèratif . So, why is “se lever” wrong here ?
2. Il demande, < Aimez-vous les chiens ? >
Now, I wrote - Il demande si nous aimons les chiens.
However, the right answer was- Il demande s’ils aiment les chiens.
I request you to please explain the reasons behind the above two queries.
A small request, as a student, to take a glimpse of my previous question posted few days back. I know it’s quite a tedious question but I hope it’ll be done.
By the way, to take a glance is “ coup d’œil” - an expression I learnt just now !
Merci encore Madame !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
Why is there "de" after "changer"? Just as we see in your example: "Je devrai changer de vêtements" why not "les" or "des"?
I always wondered about this, and very interested to find out answer (if there is a specific rule, or it's just one more thing we have to cram)
How to use negation with futur proche?
Quelle est la difference entre: "un rendez-vous" et "une reunion" ?
Je pense qu'"un rendez-vous" = "an appointment" and "une reunion" = "meeting".
Est-ce que c'est juste ?
