Above is the referenced quiz question, to which I answered 'you cannot say'. However, the results indicate correct answer is 'a woman'. This is incorrect. Since "ami" start with a voul, you must use "son" whether the subject is masculine or feminine, therefor, you cannot tell is Sylvie's friend is a man or a woman.
‘Ce n’est que au petit matin’ : pourquoi pas ‘ce n’était que au petit matin’?
i WANT HOW SAY DO YOU LIVE
I just asked my French son in law if he or his friends or family ever call it "Saint Sylvestre", and he says,
"non on ne dit jamais ca, on dit juste le nouvel an."Is it really very common to say Saint Sylvestre? Could that be regional, eg in Paris as opposed to southern part of the country where he's from?
How could you say "He needs a day off." ?
I answered:
Il a besoin d'un jour de congé.
*Il doit un jour de congé*
Oh, c'était sympa and not Oh, c'étaient sympas?
Since the question references vacances that's always plural, I thought the answer should the equivalent of 'they were', not 'it was'.
Ils vont visiter 'la tour Eiffel' ce matin.
Would it be replaced by a direct object or y
They will visit it = la or they will visit there = y
Ils vont la visiter or ils vont y visiter.
Hi, why are we using an indirect object in this case? Is the expression "tenir à/par" to hold someone's hand (by the hand)?
Why is there no "une" before "salle de bains" in this sentence: "Oui, une chambre double avec salle de bains privative."
