Merci, j'ai apprécié. Ce qui pourrait être amusant, c'est d'avoir un exercice d'écoute où l'on fait un dessin à partir d'instructions vocales !
If you can say it is seven o'clock at night, sept heures du soir, why can't you say seven o'clock in the morning, sept heures du matin?.......Thirza
In the quiz it gave this translation of the English : 'Ils n'ont plus de vin" but I would have translated this as 'they don't have any more wine', which is quite different in meaning in English. Would my version be incorrect? If so how would I say that in French? Merci!
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"?
Elles ne connaitront jamais mon secret is the given answer. Why will savoir in the future not do? Various dictionaries suggest they are equivalent for this kind of statement.
Hi I have two questions regarding the phrase 'on n'est pas secoués dans tous les sens'.
1. why is there an 'e' on the end of secoué? I would have thought that it should be the third person singular of 'on'.
2. What is the meaning of 'secoué dans tous les sens'? Does it mean 'shaken about all over the place'?
Le père de Michel travaille dans un hôtel.
Will the un change to d' in the negative form?
I was surprised by the sentence “Je ne peux pas imaginer ce que serait ma vie”, as I normally see “ce qui [verb]” and “ce que [subject pronoun + verb]”. Should it be “ce qui serait”?
il n'y a pas de meilleure saint Valentin
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?
