Est-ce que tu sais marcher sur les mains ? - Non, je ne sais pas le faire.Do you know how to walk on your hands ? - No, I don't [know how to do that].But the lesson goes on to say...Note that in many such cases, you add the neutral verb faire to refer to an action.It would be good to have a bit more guidance on which cases require the addition of faire. Is it compulsory in some cases? Is there a rule?
What is the difference between très and trop? Because it corrected me when I said "Il est très drôle" instead of "Il est trop drôle". Thanks!
What is the difference between polluer and faire polluer?
I assume that the avoir aspect of the sentence also changes with tense for example:
Imparfaite =J'avais besoin de= I have needed
Future= J'aurai besoin de= I will need
Passe compose= J'ai eu besoin de= I needed
Plus-que-Parfaite= J'avais eu besoin de= I have had needed
etc.
Is this correct?
Is it acceptable to say here instead:
Sur laquelle elle s'allongeait en rêvassant pendant des heures.?
I needed to research these expressions.
Why is "pouvoir" before "les utiliser" in the fourth sentence? The English to be translated was just "in order to use".
Bien joué... always masculine even when talking to a woman????
