Test question: How would you say "I haven't been in France for long."?
Per the lesson, Ne...pas + Présent indicatif + depuis longtemps = not long / not for long -> It started a short while ago, and is still ongoing
My answer marked incorrect: Je n'arrive pas en France depuis longtemps.
Correct answer per system: Je ne suis pas arrivé en France depuis longtemps.
According to the lesson,
use of Présent indicatif translates as "not long / not for a long time," whereas
use of Passé composé translates as "not for a long time / not for ages; over and done in the past"
The usage rule says "You can also use aller à + person to ask/say that [someone] is fine with [something], i.e. that something suits you:" but neither of the examples use à.
Ça vous va ?
Ça lui va ?
It's confusing.
dans seem to fit with the lesson. I thought that 'pendant' would have been the correct answer. I cannot work out why it isn't. Help please!
I can use the word( professeur) as masculine and feminine.
e.g.) not only is it sweet, it's also sour!
I live in New Brunswick, Canada, and in French we are called Nouveau-Brunswick. Is that just because Canada is more French than the US? Just curious.
For the question, Je sens quelque chose, et toi ? - Non, je ..., can I also say 'No, je ne sens pas du tout? ' What are differences between ne...rien and pas du tout? Thanks.
