In the sentence, "Chaque après-midi, dès que la cloche sonnait la fin de l'école, je courais jusqu'à la devanture alléchante de la mercerie Arnaud qui regorgeait de bobines de fil coloré, de boutons enchanteurs et autres tissus à motifs, tous plus attrayants les uns que les autres.", there appear to be a series of nouns associated with the verb, regorger de. We have de bobines, de boutons, but tissus (not de tissus). Why isn't it d'autres tissus to follow the pattern ?
Hmm ...bit confused by the use of C'est in the translation for the very last sentence. Surely, the statement is not general (as per the hint) but applies specifically to 'les rogails a la saucisse ..etc. and is similar to examples in section 2b of the C'est/ Il/Elle est Tutorial ..... 'Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau.'
The excercise translation was poires rose, while the complete tesxt at the end was pois roses. This sort of thing and punctuation at the end of phrases indicated as errors makes me doubt the utility of these exercises.
Ce festin s'accompagne de patates, de jambon et de cornichons
Hello Kwiziq Community,
Would you know the nuances between using devra and devrait in this sentence ? Thank you.
Pourquoi le phrase "Il s'en occupe tout de suite" veut dire "He takes care of them right away. (i.e. things)" au lieu de "He takes care of it right away" dans le test? Si je disais "Je m'occupe de mon problèm," pourrait-on utilise "en" pour remplacer le seul problèm?
Mettez au temps convenable
en 2021, nous (étudier) souvent en ligne
is avons étudié correct or étudiions is correct?
Which is more Correct and will I get mark for passe compose in a subjective exam.
Are both technically correct?
"In the first half of the week" the acceptable translation is Dans (or durant or pendant) la première moitié though above it says "Durant". However, "In the second half of the week", "Dans" and "moitié are both marked as incorrect with "moitié" is replaced by "partie". Could you please explain the differences as I don't understand them.
I understand from the disucssion that you can use depuis with the present tense or passé composé but I have this question:
Depuis quand est-ce que vous êtes vous mariés ? ( a point in time in the past)
Asking a person who is married how long they've been married (and still are): Vous êtes vous mariés depuis 30 ans? (Past tense so does this mean they're no longer married?) or, should you say, Vous êtes mariés depuis 40 ans? (still married).
This always trips me up so thank you ahead of time for your help!
