Why is le petit-déjeuner (with hyphen) marked wrong?
Hello,
I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.
I've read all the comments here and in the related links, several times.
It seems the rule be stated as, there's NO gender/number agreement of the participle when there is a direct object following the verb.
Ça vous dit ?
In "et lui avait demandé où", isn't the subject still the author, so that it should be "avais"?
A male sheep is called a ram in English and I thought a male sheep in French was a bélier? Is it that people in France call male sheep "mouton"?
Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...
Hi !
In the question Audrey adores ____________. , I found the answer was le mercredis. Why did the answer use le instead of les ?
Hope you answer soon !
I want to understand the word order of a demonstrative pronoun AS AN OBJECT (whether or not it is contracted to ça). It was asked below, "Je l'adore" vs. "J'adore ça" but the point was missed in the answer. when ÇA is used as an object, it seems to follow the verb, but when le, la, or lui is used, the object pronoun preceeds the verb.
I've searched Lawless French and googled for this, but have not found anything that specifically addresses this nuance of word order. Please help!
Why is this incorrect? Il est aussi riche qu'ils
Why have a kwiz where we are tested on conjugating "ralentir" if it turns out to actually be regular, given the information above? Are we supposed to understand that the examples above are the only irregular -tir verbs, or most of them? Because that is not particularly clear. What rough percentage of -tir verbs are irregular vs. regular?
I'm confused by the correct answer to this question:
>>La population du Nigeria est de plus de ________ personnes.
I wrote "un cent million de". However, the correct answer was "cent millions de".
Why do we drop the "un" in this case (unlike the examples)? Why is "millions" plural, even though it is only 1 million?
