I’m having difficulty with the sentence "Leurs témoignages ________ louches à la police.
(Their testimonies sounded dodgy to the police)Why isn’t the verb in l’imparfait rather than PC? It seems to me that the testimonies weren’t suddenly dodgy, it was something that continued
Are there other verbs who follow this same pattern: ie. they can be conjugated in the past tense using either 'etre' or 'avoir'? The verb that comes to mind is:
'Paraitre'?
Merci
The answer to #7 on the calendar is la neige but I answered une boule à neige (a snow globe) because that's what it looks like to me.
Salut! Je suis juste curieux, qu'est-ce que ça veut dire précisément que "les cloches apportent les œufs...?" Est-ce que ces cloches de Pâques deviennent vivantes et alors apportent les œufs, ou est-ce que la sonnerie des cloches font apparaître les œufs dans les jardins? Ou est-ce que c'est quelqu'autre chose entièrement? C'est fascinant! Merci beaucoup!
Question 1) Comment se sont passées vos vacances ? Should it not have the final 'es' ?
Query 2) If a question is asked using the past tense, can the reply be in the imparfait?
I don't understand. I'm given a lesson on pronouns but then most of the test is on conjugation of verbs I have not heard of before.
Why is it le nez but ses lèvres?
In the translation options for “Martine and I went for a walk around town”, why are the “baladés/allés” not “baladées/allées” as the two people referenced are both female?
I notice in the phrase 'était apparue gracieusement sur cet étrange engin' the adverb is placed after the participle, not the conjugated verb. Am I right in thinking adverbs normally go directly after the conjugated verb ?
In which lesson can I find the future simple conjugation of Prévoir? It seems to have a different pattern than explained in this lesson for VOIR or REVOIR. Isn't it a VOIR derivative. Please help.
