Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence
Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever
I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?
Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?
Thanks,
Max
Two options offered in answers for the last sentence. When do we use suivre de (qqch) and when suivre (qqch)? Thank you
Please provide further explanation about the phrase "Peut-être qu'elle est allée dire bonjour..." I believe that in English, we would write it, "Perhaps she went to say 'Hello' ..." Why does French not have quote marks around something that is said? For example, how would you write the following in French: The farmer said, "I'm going into town to buy a cat."?
Hi can you please explain the usage difference between the two? A challenge in sports vs intellectual. Someone likes a challenge …. To challenger yourself not necessarily physically. Are these verbs interchangeable as synonyms? Is one more common than the other?
...but this doesn’t appear in the story.
Why is "de vernis" used in this sentence and "du vernis" in the following sentence ? I thought it was a masculine noun, ie du vernis
Which is correct:
Nous n'allons pas le perdre OR Nous allons ne le perdre pas?
When i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?
I have lots of questions
First what's the use of this level test
In the last sentence, "Et vous, comment s'est passé votre Noël cette année ?" If vous is the subject, shouldn't the verb be, vous etiez passé. How come it switches to 3rd person?
