Hi, I just came across this on a test and I wrote that it could mean Jack descended on the giant (as opposed to the stairs ) and this was marked incorrect but in the explanation it states that they descended the stairs requires avoir as the auxillary verb so I cannot see why descending on the giant is any different? They both have a direct object.
I am a bit confused about this. Thanks
I read somewhere else that you always put the most important first, ie the thing or person that is missed, ie Jean manque à ma sœur ; my sister misses Jean , Jean lui manque ; she misses Jean. Is that a guide worth following?
Could this be elle va être?
J’adore cet exercise parce qu’il m’a fait découvrir un film vraiment amusant, et à une réalisatrice très interessante. En fait, j'ai pris du temps sur les exercices de grammaire pour regarder le film et je pense que je vais le revoir. Je veux en parler avec mon tuteur en Tunisie demain. Merci pour cela. Contenu vraiment super !
Why is it le nez but ses lèvres?
Why isn't it 'depouillement des votes'?
We were asked to translate from English "nights when you are not here." The answer is "les soirs ou tu n'est pas la." I don't have accents on my keyboard." Why "la" and not "ici"? Is "ici" a correct alternative?
It is somewhat reassuring to find so many others have found this confusing! Hope it is reviewed soon. Needs clarification and simplification, and use of standard symbols to replace unspecified letters. I always do the lesson first and then check the comments - this is one of those that makes me think I should read the comments first. When can a review be expected?
