'As you can see, we only ever use the vous form.'
Does that mean you use the vous form even if speaking to a friend with whom you'd normally use 'tu', or does it mean you wouldn't use vouloir imperative at all with such a person (in which case, what would you say?)
Hi, why in this phrase (le tatin de légumes) they used ´de and not aux légumes?
Does “ Ce n'est vraiment pas juste !” translate to “It’s not really fair!” or “It’s really not fair!”? In English the latter has a much stronger sense of injustice associated with it.
This was the first test that I completed and I felt that it is difficult to here the some words because of the liaison. How can I get better with listening.
I think there is value is amending the lesson to emphasize that sometimes means or or often based on the context.
For example: - at any moment; à tout prix - at any price; à tout propos - at any given opportunity; à tout venant - to anyone and everyone; de tout âge - at any age; en tout cas - in any case; en tout état de cause - in any case, in any event; si je le laisse seul, tout peut arriver - If I leave him alone, anything can happen;
It would be great if a translation appears too! I have to use a translator to get an idea of what the words mean in context and its not always accurate or reliable.
What is the role of 'd'ailleurs' in the above sentence? I am guessing it means 'anyway'. Thanks
Here it is below. For the last phrase, "mais elle l'a eu !", is "mais elle l'a réussi !" an alternate answer? Please explain the use of avoir in this case."
I am reading an easy french novel and am confused about the grammer in these instances:
Il ne vous reste qu'a (with accent acute) vous enfuir.
qu'est-ce que j'ai a (with accent acute) perdre
why is the enfuir not conjugated, and preceded by the a?
why do you need the a before the perdre?
thanks for your help
