Hi Ted I want to say I have a sore throat in French
Why is "c'est bon" used here instead of "elle est bonne", when it's expressing opinion over something specific that you know the gender of already?
Would "un petit mot" work as a translation here? I feel like I've come across this much more often than "note", or maybe there's some nuance I'm missing?
"il n'est jamais alle nulle part." This was one of the examples given in the lesson, but I thought that it would be wrong to use *jamais* since "ne ... nulle part" is a negation of its own just like "ne .... aucune"
C'est quoi la différence entre "les moments que" et "les moments où" ?
"Par an" et "par année" ?
Merci à l'avance.
I did a quiz and got this question: "Which of the following adjectives are correctly placed?"
un extrêmement vieux parcheminI selected the answer above but it said it was incorrect. I thought if the adverb was 2+ syllables, then vieux would follow after. Can someone explain?
Each of these expressions are translated using 'du'. In English, both are possessive. In the first case, we are talking about a place, so I can rationalize the use of 'du' instead of 'de'. In the second case, I have more of a problem. It seems like a simple use of the possessive which I think would call for 'de' instead of 'du'. Can I get some guidance here? Thanks.
The text talks about shopping last weekend, not last week. Would it not be more precise to translate " last weekend" to "le week-end dernier" ? Why was this was not permitted ?
I have been taught that lui refers to both male and female but in the exercise they are conceptualized differently.
I translated the sentence beginning with, "do you remember where you put my peacock blue jacket..." as "tu te souviens d'où tu as mis ma veste..." but the accepted answer that used "se souvenir" (instead of "se rappeler") omitted the "de" so it read "tu tu souviens où tu as mis..."
Just wanted to know why we don't use "de" here? According to the lesson on "se souvenir de & se rappeler," the "de" is never omitted after "se souvenir"?
