Hello, I am wondering why to use "c´est" instead of "elle est" to translate "she is an angel". Doesn't "c´est" mean "it is", used to describe an object? Can you use "c´est" about a person and why is it better than simply saying "elle est"?
How can I get better in dictée
I wrote á chaque soirs Elle lui raconte un histoire. To mean every night she told him a story and got it wrong in the quiz .and the acceptable answer was: Tous les soirs, Elle raconte un histoire. Doesn’t á chaque soirs also mean every night?
This sentence is missing in the audio.
Hi, with reference to “les Belges brassent près de huit cent variétés de bière ?”, “les Belges brassent près de huit-cent sortes de bière ?”, and “les Belges brassent près de 800 types de bière ?”.
I thought that it was not correct to capitalise “les belges”?
I presume it’s the speaker, but the speaker sounds female.
I know this exercise is about numbers, but i do not understand the following examples:
Il lui envoie deux-mille roses.He sends her two thousand roses.Il lui envoie deux milliers de roses.He sends her two thousand roses.Why does 'lui' translate as 'her' in both these examples? I thought 'lui' when used like this refers to him, and that 'elle' would be her?
Thanks
So why is it that 1e, 2e, 3e, is only used for ranks / positions and never for dates.. (except 1st/ 1e i think?)
Ex- "Je n'aime pas les foules et je déteste danser" from "
I don't like crowds and I hate dancing"
I came up with "Je deteste les foules et je hate danser"
Some vernacular examples would help.
