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
Don't take antibiotics for a cold!!!! :)
The first hint ("they're a couple") could mean a couple talking to each other (as intended, so tu) or that a couple is being addressed (e.g. by a realtor, so vous). It tripped me up!
Can someone clarify why is it that "elle m'a embrassé" is using avoir as the auxiliary and not être? By this logic, I don't understand why "Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur" is reflexive, as the direct object would be the sister?
Bonjour,
With regards to Cher Matt, chère Kate. If you are are writing a letter or a card and it's to both of them, could you default to the masculine version and say Cher Matt et Kate?
Merci
Quelle est la différence entre les mots "shooter" and "shot" ? Les deux options ont été présentées dans les réponses. L’un est-il utilisé avec des noms et l’autre avec des verbes ? ("Shooter" was given as an option when using "pour la digestion" [what I used] and "shot" when using "digérer").
If, as mentioned, most people use the subjonctif after "après que", wouldn't it be odd to a francophone to hear the passé composé?
Après que je SUIS allé????
Even school teachers would say " Après que je SOIS allé"
My attempt was different from the quiz’s offered answers. But is it okay? ->
“et cette fois, je serais d’accord à sortir avec Paul”
This is touched on in the discussion, but I wonder if you can clarify which expressions can be used in the future too? Obviously hier and demain cannot. I realise the first paragraph does specify "past point of view" but there doesn’t seem to be a future equivalent lesson. Thanks, and I’m sorry to add to an already long thread!
It would be great if a translation appears too! I have to use a translator to get an idea of what the words mean in context and its not always accurate or reliable.
What is the role of 'd'ailleurs' in the above sentence? I am guessing it means 'anyway'. Thanks
