When conjugated in L'Imparfait (Indicatif), devoir refers to a past obligation, without specifying whether it was met or not.
Actually, in most cases, the obligation was not met.
The first example in the above lesson definately specifies that they didn't come when supposed to. How is that complying with this rule "without specifying whether it was met or not"
*Eux* seuls sont venus - why this is correct and not - Ils seuls sont venus
What is the correct order to ask questions in French?
I mean, can we put all of the words of interrogation like (quand qui que) in different places like we do with ou` and the different places can we put the subject and the verb?
for example : ou`te es ?_ou` es tu? - tu es ou`?
I translated this exercise perfectly but scored zero. That was I misunderstood and found the exercise difficult to interpret.
Why is "il lui faut de l'aide" - he / she needs some help and "il te faut de l'aide" - you must help? I am getting very confused with this expression!
The heading is wrong. It should be: Tutoyer 'ou' Vouvoyer?. 'ou' in place of 'or' because that is a french heading with English in the second line.
