My point of view- its equivalent in english to say- I don't like anything but apples...if you put this in mind you will not get confused. so it means you like only apples.
Je n'aime que les pommes.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and inspirational video. It would have been a fabulous exhibit to have seen in person.
In writing French, when do you use "on" and when do you use "nous" ?
In the final sentence, I was expecting "ensemble" to be placed immediately after "lit", as reading is the thing being done together. Can someone explain why it isn't, please?
In 1990 L'Académie française produced a document changing the spelling of certain verbs, and I quote:
5. Verbes en -eler et -eter L’emploi du e accent grave pour noter le son « e ouvert » dans les verbes en -eler et en -eter est étendu à tous les verbes de ce type. On conjugue donc, sur le modèle de peler et d’acheter : elle ruissèle, elle ruissèlera, j’époussète, j’étiquète, il époussètera, il étiquètera. On ne fait exception que pour appeler (et rappeler) et jeter (et les verbes de sa famille), dont les formes sont les mieux stabilisées dans l’usage.
Should this be reflected on this site?
Why is italienne not capitalized in the phrase "de la Renaissance italienne?" Also, why is the article "le" not used in the first mention "de Florence en Italie", but is used in "ses carnets duvoyage sure l'Italie" ? Has "medicine" gone out of usage for the designation of medical doctor and has "docteur" supplanted it? "Docteur" is applicable to non-physicians (e.g., those with PhD's) and is there another designation for them? Thanks.
My answer of clés was corrected to cléfs. Is that correct?
Also in the phrase: Tu as apporté la monnaie que j'avais mise de côté exprès ?
I can't hear "avais" pronounced, is it just me mishearing?
I read somewhere else that you always put the most important first, ie the thing or person that is missed, ie Jean manque à ma sœur ; my sister misses Jean , Jean lui manque ; she misses Jean. Is that a guide worth following?
