I saw this sentence online «Mon père est médecin et je vais en être un aussi.»
I'm confused because there is no «de» to replace?
I translated "at the moment" as "en ce moment", rather than "pour le moment". I believe either one is correct, but "en ce moment" is not listed as an alternative. Would it be incorrect to use that formulation in this context?
Why is it quarter to seven and not 7:45 PM?
My understanding of "être" in passé composé is that it's supposed to be used for reflexive verbs. If this were true, then "je suis allée" would imply, in the present tense "je me vais", which isn't correct. Could someone explain this?
'Personne n'a pas son billet.' is incorrect because of the 'pas'. Can you explain why this is so?
In the quiz there's a sentence that reads:
Christophe finissait son déjeuner quand les autres sont arrivés.
The English translation says
Christopher was finishing his breakfast when the others arrived.
The quiz says déjeuner not petit-déjeuner.
Est-ce que le verbe gambader utilise l'objet indirecte? (qui lui gambadait) Merci
Interesting to read but I'm getting a bit stuck on "l'on" as in "il ne faut pas que l'on nous voie". Why is the "l' " necessary? What does it refer to?
Hi,
I was doing a Kwiziq quiz and got thsi question: "
________ appelle mon père.I call my father.I thought the answer was je s'appelles, so I put je s'. The correct answer is "j' ". Why is there no reflexive part to it? No me, se, te or anything. I was a little thrown off by that. It would only be "j'appelle" - is that correct?
I love the use of the colors ! You might consider using them in all the examples as well. Finally, for even greater clarity - select a color for the subject of the verb (that which is doing the "bringing to mind"). Again, the colors are so powerful. Thank you for all the great lessons.
