Salut a tous.
Ma question concerne l'utilisation du pronom "dont" ici. La phrase ci-dessus peut traduire comme soit "The books I think of are remarkable" soit "the books i'm thinking about are remarkable." étant donné que penser peut prendre la préposition 'de', cette dernière formulation permet l'utilisation de "dont", n'est-ce pas ? S'il vous plaît donnez votre avis. Merci en avance.
Vois ici: De qui/dont/duquel = of/about whom, of/about which - with prepositional verbs with "de" (French Relative Pronouns)"Pronunciation Note:
When plus has a negative meaning (no more), you never pronounce the final -s."Does that mean that the final -s is always pronounced if the meaning is positive? Is that how French people distinguish between 1) J'ai plus du temps and 2) J'ai plus de temps (where 2 is really Je n'ai plus de temps with the ne omitted as it often is in conversation). How do native French listeners tell the difference?
I don't find it helpful to learn how to conjugate in the passé simple (no plans to become a novelist). I keep getting passé simple questions in my quizzes, which is frustrating because the other C1 grammar is very useful and I want to master those things. Is there any setting that lets us include/exclude certain material from the quizzes?
I wrote cannelle for cinnamon and was marked wrong and changed to canelle, but in the dictionary it is spelt cannelle. Which is correct??
Here it says that En can’t be used for people but I have heard it in the following context: Tu as des enfants, oui j’en ai trois. In this case en is referring to people?
I understand that aucun is more emphatic than pas de, but does "Je n'avait pas d'idée ..." not work for this sentence as well? Thank you.
I translated: and when he finds the treasure, as :-
- et quand il trouve le trésor
but was marked incorrect with 'le' being replaced with 'son'.
Is that correct?
Missing: "Ce qui me plait plus que tout, c'est l'ambiance détendue,"
I practice pronunciation by reading these texts aloud and checking my pronunciation against the recording - that's why I noticed.
