Hunting through the comments, it appears there was a change mentioned 11 months ago, but Joseph's answer was not actually included and I wonder if the general grammar rule may have been deleted when the exception about Indicatif was added?
Celine's answer to John 3 years ago has some explanation of present tense vs. passé composé, but there is nothing like this in the actual lesson itself.
I stopped reading halfway through the many comments as it appears many other users have also previously felt the lesson did not have an adequate explanation...
Why is it essaye de when all the other verbs aren't followed by de? Also, why not essaie?
En automne, tous les couleurs me plaisent: le rouge, l'orange, le vert, etc. et j'adore prendre des photos de feuilles multicolorées! Il ne fait pas trop chaud ou trop froid donc nous pouvons avoir de plusieurs choix avec nos vêtements, c'est super! Il y a aussi les boissons chaudes délicieuses.
Je trouve que les pronoms possessifs sont difficiles pour moi, alors corrigez-moi s'il vous plaît!
See the first example of même as an adverb, I think that it's modifying "my mother" and thus is an adjective not an adverb. Now if it had said, "...my mother even went..." then it's modifying "went" and is an adverb.
Même ma mère est allée ...Even my mother went ...
Why isn't ces used in this reply - given that les livres is plural
With respect, are D.G and Cécile’s posts right? Surely ne is only needed after sans que when the verb preceding it is negative, and then only in more formal French. So "Tu as fait tout ça sans que Neve soit au courant" will not require a "ne".
The linked lesson could be a little clearer, but says:
If the main verb is NOT used with negations, then you CANNOT use the ne explétif.
If the main verb is used with a negation, you can use the ne explétif, but it is considered optional
Dans la phrase, "N'ajoute aucun ingrédient qui nuirait à l'équilibre du plat, quelle que soit son originalité ou sa rareté.", le mot ’quelle’ fait référence à quoi ? Ingrédient ( aucun agrément), originalité ? Merce de votre explication en avance.
How do I say “hello aunt, it’s nice to see you”
Pourriez-vous m'expliquer mes erreurs ? Quelle est la différence entre arbuste et buisson ? Et pourquoi va "dans le salon" et non "au salon" ?
-Merci
Hello,
The sentences:-
Mes amis et moi, ON VA au cinema/ Mes amis et moi, NOUS ALLONS au cinema.
Is it wrong to use 'nous allons' in the second sentence?
