Shouldn't it be "Elle a dû l'oubliée?" [She must have forgotten it.]
Here, Oublier is infinitive form of the verb which means - to forget. So, in this example isn't it translated to - She must have forget about it, which doesn't sound right. How can it be translated to '...forgotten it.' which is past tense?
Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant. Is that incorrect?
Thanks
In the second sentence, the conversation has "lui" although it is hard to distinguish "lui" from "leur" with the speaker's intonation. For the remainder of the conversation, the conversation has "leur" when referring to the recipient(s) of the gift. While I can get the difference after listening for multiple times, I still find it strange that the two are not consistent.
I would think that this would follow the rule of feminine place names getting en, but I keep hearing people say « dans la Nouvelle-Écosse » instead of « en Nouvelle-Écosse » like I would expect
I find that in many of the lessons, the synonyms are often not taken as an alternative. For example "des fois" was not taken as correct for "sometimes". Another example, "cueillir" was marked wrong for "picking", and an alternative "ramasser" was suggested as a correct answer. I'd suggest to expand the choices of synonyms.
“A corner-kick” would be a useful addition to the list !
The translation of "Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !" is "And you hear the same song, oh!". Why is "on" translated as "you"? I thought the translation of "on" is "one" or "we". Thanks!
Hello. Would it make a subtle difference if we use "on doit" instead of "on devrait" in this context? What would be the difference? Thank you.
