in this text it said 'I explained to her', which I would have thought was 'Je lui ai expliqué' but no.
so, when to use (for example)
j'avais expliqué
j'expliquais
Is there a reason "he'll be back" is translated once as "il sera de retour" and once as "il sera revenu"? Or are they simply alternatives?
Why is "I've seen the neighborhood evolve" translated passé composé instead of imparfait? "I've seen" describes something that happens over time and is not ended, it's continuous and I'm not done seeing. Isn't that the case for imparfait?
Why is "La carte vous donne aussi" correct and not "vous donnez"?
Bonjour Cécile,
In the first A1 Listening Practice exercise, Liz asked whether run-on sentences are acceptable in French. Michael explained what they are. You asked Liz for an example, which wasn't given there.
The 4th and 7th sentences in this exercise are good examples.
I have seen so many of them throughout the exercises that I can only conclude they must be acceptable in French.
Still, confirmation of that fact would be welcome.
Mes chausseurs ne vont pas ensemble: _____ est bleu est l'autre jaune-colors may be wrong. I put l'un which was wrong and l'une was right. What am I missing here, chausseur is masculine
