So, am I correct in saying that the indirect object pronouns, 'lui' and 'leur' are applicable to both animate and inanimate things?
Kevin
Please help for the following :
What are the differences between these two sentences
1) Il habite à dix minutes de Marseille.
2) Il habite à 10 min de Marseille.
My answer was the number one, but the Kwiziq marked it wrong.
Thank you!
The detail says to use Mon, ma or mes but the first to examples use son, sa, ses. Why is that?
Kwiziq a marqué ma réponse comme incorrecte car j'ai écrit "dans ces jours-là" ...
The commentary is simply too fast. May I suggest that you have a slower speed, in addition to the present one. Duolingo does this, and I find I need to break down the words -- then, I can play the faster speed, as I know conversations aren't done in a slow speed. But, as of now, the words simply run together and I can't discern individual words.
It says “you always use the masculine with c'est. ”
But in the very beginning example “c’est une jolie robe”
Here the adjective is feminine- how? Also, it says when its followed with une/un then we us “ c’est” - how une can be following c’est when the adjective is feminine?
In the sentence "tout le monde aide avec les corvées"
1. why is the phase singular if means plurel as in everyone
2. why is corvées feminine? I would have thought corvés as it is a mix of people (potentially)
And...
In the sentence "Julien s'occupe du tri des déchets"
1. why “tri” and not “trie”, I couldn’t find a “tri” in any tenses?
