Can I say 'je suis en train de lire ce livre' if I am reading the book but not actually at that moment?
Je trouve ce sujet difficile a comprendre. Chaque fois j'ai répondu c'est la mauvais réponse. Aimer ou aimer bien, ou aimer beaucoup. Pouvez-vous expliquer. Merci.
Hi, I just want to echo some of the sentiments and questions expressed below in that I find this lesson insufficient for helping me feel comfortable with the reasons that different verb tenses were used in the examples. Thanks for considering this feedback!
Please can you explain this lesson. Even the examples don't seem to fit the explanation
Penser que + indicative ne pas
Penser que + subjunctive
????
Could someone please direct me to the correction board as per Céline's suggestion below?
I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it.
The text above says "different than" - this is an Americanism. In British English it should read "different from", or (less favoured) "different to." However the words are spelt in British English. I am nitpicking, but isn't this par for the course?!
saying "literally - and we completely remade my wardrobe" isn't quite right when you've missed out "together"? I feel like these hints aren't helpful and in fact hinder my progress in the text as they aren't "literal" at all. Plus in that sentence, to say "we bought me a new wardrobe" isn't quite what a native English person would say, they'd simply say "and we bought a new wardrobe (for me).
Hope this can be of use and makes sense from my point of view.
I found this very difficult and frustrating. Some of the words I thought I needed were not in my dictionary or were very different from what I expected: Silicon was translated to be silicium (!); liposuction was nowhere to be found. I don't recall having see the expression "couter les yeux et la tete" before (although there is some faint recollection of it). Poser, used I think in its possible form, is to install, but not a term I would have associated with breast implants. I think I need MUCH more information and education in current terminology to feel any success with this translations. How do I get this????? Help, please!!
