Is it still considered general when the adjective is followed by "here", why does this not revert back to the normal agreement rules?
I know that it means "himself" or something like that, but it can not be a pronoms tiniques because :
moi=me
toi=you
lui=him
elle=her
nous=us
vous=you
eux=them
elles=them
So clearly for il we use lui not soi !
Three questions:
1. “quand ça arrivera” – would “quand ça se passera” be acceptable?
2. “la grande ville où nous habitons” – would "la grande ville où on habite” be acceptable?
3. “intelligemment” – would “habilement” be acceptable here?
I thought we need to agree past participle with the number of people... I did, We brushed our hair = Nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux. However, kwizBot said, it was only nearly good, the right answer was: Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux.
I'm confused, what's my mistake then? Did I misunderstand something?
Bonjour. If I were to say "cette jupe coute 30 euros" instead of "la jupe coute 30 euros", would the exclamation then be (for example, a friend reacting to it) "c'est cher" or "elle est chere?"
Bonjour,
In one of the questions, ""Il a huit amis, dont cinq sont anglais", I see "sont" being used. But in all the examples in this lesson, no verbs are used in the "dont" clause.
Can I then also say, ""Il a huit amis, dont cinq anglais" ? Could someone clairfy?
Merci.
Why passé simple is used in sentence instead of le subjonctif
I also had difficulties understanding the sentences because the audio was too fast for me. However, I understand that the french speak fast and I need to spend a lot of time listening to spoken french for my ears to get used to it.
HI,
I forget what lesson in A1 I saw this and now I can't find it. But one sentence has c'est un Vieux sac for it's an old bag but the second one is c'est un vieil home for he's an old man. My question is why is c'est for he is or she is shouldn't it be il/Elle est?
Thanks
Nicole
