Bonjour Aurélie
Could you please tell me why "just" was included in the the first phrase of Hi darling I've just left the office ?
? I thought viens de meant "just done something "
Thank you Lyn waynelynchampion@gmail.com
Bonjour Lyn !
You are absolutely correct, and the version without "juste" is also perfectly acceptable here, as "venir de" contains the proximity in time :)
I've now edited the challenge to "je viens (juste) de".
Merci et à bientôt !
Bonjour, why is the phrase "you will need to" translated as "il faudrait que tu" and not something like " il te faudra".
I think it was question 1. Why is it Qu'est-ce for "what" and not qu'est-ce que?
