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.
About 'face the facts', is it also correct to translate it as ' faire face aux réalités'.
I think 'faire face à ' is a very common expression.
Hello! Why is bain plural here with an s? I would expect there would only be one bathroom to each hotel room.
In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.
I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.
Hello.
The English sentence is: I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie!
I must have missed the rule that explains the use of conditional past in French. Can you enlighten me please.
Thanks.
can we use afin de for reflexive verbs? is it a je vais dans la salle debains afin de me laver?
«Faire de qqn» proved to be a difficult expression to track down anywhere. It was suggested by deepL - but without any explanation, of course. Looking at questions below, it seems others have pondered over this as well.
A hint here that it is literally 'make of me' would be very useful. Of course, in English we usually leave 'of' out, and just say 'make me', or move the words around to 'make (something) of me'.
how will i know where to use etre and where to use avoir?
I agree that this is a challenging lesson, and agree it’s a lot of information. Maybe a summary table (column 1 having each form of attendre, column 2 giving that form’s meaning/ translation, column 3 giving the sense, whether positive or negative) would help for quick review. I feel that by the time I get to the bottom of the list, I’ve forgotten the nuance of the definitions further up! A quick reference may help. Thanks for considering.
Hello everyone,
I was just wondering if you could give me some tips to use this website effectively, as I can't figure out how to remember the information. The topic tests aren't enough, so I was thinking to make flashcards, but that sounds straining.
I'm doing IB and I need some tips - anything helps.
Thank you.
