Would you please explain the phrase Lucie Martin a été voir ... Why is the passé composé of Être used with voir to translate went to see?
Thank you.
Bonjour M !
In French, just like in English, you can sometimes use "être" and "aller" interchangeably to talk about somewhere you've been/gone :
I've been to the shops. / I went to the shops. -> J'ai été aux magasins / Je suis allé aux magasins.
The literal translation here would indeed be "Lucie has been to see a concert" :)
Bonne journée !
Dans l'histoire Les semaine de Martin, est-ce qu'on peut dire «Vendredi soir Lucie Martin est allée voir un film en plein air.»?
