Hi team. Wondering why only "Go there!" is the only answer. "You go there!" should be correct, too?
Most often in the use of pqp, one action precedes another. Sometimes the action the plus-que-parfait precedes will not be explicit, but will be implied in the sentence:
Je m'étais trompé de date cette fois-là.I'd got the date wrong that time.Vous vous étiez amusés cette nuit-là?Had you had fun that night?Both these examples, weakly imply, that you were mistaken and had fun in a prior time. I find this difficult to think I would be able to discern the need for the pqp in constructing a sentence. Can you please explain this more in depth? Thank you, Ken
"Parvenir" goes with être and "Convenir" goes with avoir (unlike venir) in Passé composé?? Same goes for "Survenir" (goes with être) and "Subvenir" (goes with avoir). Where can I find all such cases of Venir??? The list given on Kwiziq does not have these verbs - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/verbs. Please help.
I cannot hear "qui"
to think of someone is both de and a int he examples, is there a way to know which to use?
1. Can we use des salades mélangées instead of des salades compasées?
2. Can we use glaces instead glaçons? I looked it up on Google translate. Glaçons means ice cubes while glaces means simply ice. Wouldn't it be better to use the more general word ice?
Translate: "You made me want to love you" (its a lyric from a song). My first guess was "tu m'as fait que je veux t'aimer" but Google translated it as "tu m'as donné envie de t'aimer." I understand both, but Is my first guess wrong? And are there rules for when to use the expression "donner envie de"?
Why is example (1) wrong, i.e. dans lequel when example (3) dans laquelle is correct??? Don’t really get your explanation???
Am I missing something? Why are there no "practice" exercises? My style of learning involves some practice of the chosen subject - sometimes LOTS of practice. As far as I can tell, you provide no practice exercises. I often have to search my other French books for appropriate practice.
