How would you translate the sentence, "Wine, we don't drink much of it." I wasn't sure about "Le vin, ..." so I asked Google Translate, which said it should be "Du vin, ..." But Duolingo marked that wrong and said it should be, "Le vin, ..." Which is correct? "Du vin, ..." actually feels more correct to me, because what you're really saying is, "On the subject of wine, we..." And wouldn't that be, "Au sujet du vin, nous ..." ? (Sorry, I don't know how to classify this type of sentence.)
Sometimes Vouloir (to want) is conjugated as veux at the present tense, but sometimes it is conjugated as veux for the pronoun je. Does this have to do with formality?
Why is it ' on se serait crus' and not ' on se serait cru'. I thought 'on ' was singular.
So, am I correct in saying that the indirect object pronouns, 'lui' and 'leur' are applicable to both animate and inanimate things?
The English sentence says "She can sing", not "She knows how to sing". I know how to sing but I can't sing because my voice is terrible. Can all French people (or Quebecoise) who know how to sing, actually sing???
Bonjour! Can someone help me with this sentence - in particular the word "en." I am a little confused about why "en" is used along with "un épisode." I probably would have written J'en regarderai un ce soir to mean I will watch one tonight. Merci pour votre aide !
Pour cette question, j'ai mis "meilleure que" mais cela dit que la bonne reponse doit etre "mieux que", alors qui a raison? Je pensais qu'on utilise "meilleur" avec le verbe etre.
I would like a list of adjectives that change their meaning when placed before or after nouns
In the sentence: ¨Je vais acheter des pommes de terre et des patates douces pour préparer deux types de purée.¨, I used ¨purées¨ to match the plural established by ¨types¨.
Is ¨purée¨ always a singular noun?
