...in the following:
“et qui lui ont promis de lui montrer la vie...”
“et qui lui ont promis de lui faire découvrir la vie...”
Is this (a) a mistake, (b) just my ears missing the sound, or (c) a natural French abbreviation (a bit like “tu as” being pronounced as “ta”)?
I was taught that 'qui' was used when the subject of the verb and 'que' when the object of the verb
do these adverbs need to agree with the object's gender?
Je ne suis pas vraiment le foot mais je me souviens du "coup de tête"!
Bonjour! I have two questions related to the first sentence of this exercise. Firstly, why does the first part of the sentence translate to 'Lille is less than two hours away by train' when the original sentence to translate was 'Lille is less than a couple hours away' (i.e. no specific duration). Additionally, why do we use 'ce qui en fait' instead of 'ce que le fait'? Merci beaucoup!
For The exhibition also showed the history of the place, I put, L'exhibition montait également l'histoire du lieu, whereas the correction told me it was L'exposition montrait également l'histoire du lieu. Doesn't the extra 'r' indicate 'would show' rather than "showed"?
How would you say: "It is hot and sunny?"
Il fait chaud et il y a du soleil?
NB I don't understand why in French hot is an adjective and sunny is a noun...
Please could we have English translations of the dictation passages? A dictionary does not always help with some of the vocabulary used e.g. 'rustre'
