I can’t find how to reference multiple days together, is there an example?
“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6.” which of the following is correct?
Le lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Les lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi je me lève à six heures
Thanks

I am having a difficult time deciding when devoir is appropriate and when it is not. All the other applications, I am ok with. But if devoir implies "must have" why is a purse a necessity? Why not just Avoir besoin? And why is sleep NOT a necessity (or I may be getting this confused at this point). This is getting to be more of a guessing/memorization thing than an actual understanding thing. I see from the previous posts that this has been discussed ad infinitum so it's not just me. Any easy way to decide when to use devoir and when NOT to use it in this context?
Thanks
Hello,
Comment écrit-on la fraction-> 1 5/16, 5 1/2, 3 2/3, etc. Je sais écrire la fraction de base, mais quand on ajoute un nombre entier, je suis déconcerté
I thought that 'le présent' is used for the present and near future tenses, so why the answer of "Anne et Antoine se promènent avec leur chien." is only makert right to "Anne and Antoine are going for a walk with their dog." ?
Can't "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." be correct as well?
I know that the question is related to the lesson but I wan't to know if that meaning is correct in the day-to-day use.
Why is it "de jolies cartes romantiques " and not " des jolies cartes romantiques "? It seems like it should be parallel with "des boites" and "des bijoux". Thanks.
While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response:
For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you?
- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?
In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps
Thanks!
Bonjour :)
In this statement: If there is a pronoun before the infinitive, ne pas precedes it.
Which pronoun are we talking about here? Direct or Indirect? The examples above exhibit both, so I'm a bit confused.
Merci :)
