'Autres' refers to 'détails', so is an adjective ('détails' being a noun)?
So shouldn't it be 'des autres'?
I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying. Agreeing? disagreeing?
The speech on this exercise is so unclear it's almost impossible for an intermediate speaker to understand. I understand you're trying to provide a variety of accents and voices, but I don't think it helps someone at an intermediate level to give a lesson with a very unclear voice. I played this to a native French speaker, and she had trouble understanding it. Please re-record!
For the phrase, "je suis né pour travailler dans ce domaine." the audio says something like, "je suis né pour cette vocation."
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi parfois quand je donne une réponse, le Quizbot dit que ma réponse n'est pas correcte mais dans le "pourrais aussi dire" il me donne exactement la même réponse que je l'ai écrite ?
Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible), "Cette écharpe lui va" would be a correct way to say "This scarf suits them" because it's not clear from the English sentence if "them" is plural (group of people) or singular (someone whose gender isn't known/specified), right? Or is that too much of Anglo interpretation?
The correct answer was listed as "Cette écharpe leur va".
Brief explanation on how to know when w verb is followed by à, de or pour
Qui peut m'aider s'il vous plaît 🙏🙏
Salut! Je me demands pourquoi on ne fait pas l'accord de gendre entre gosses nfpl et aucun dans l'exercise.
aucun/aucune agree in gender with the object it refers toYou have to use the negation ne/n' unlike in EnglishRelated example: Les filles sortent ce soir, mais aucune ne prend le train.
Is it assumed that gosses functions as a plural masculine noun in this context since the gender of the kids is non specified, despite the noun itself being feminine? I know we do an unfortunate amount of presuming masculinity in French, but want to understand completely. I feel I may be close to a new intuition here -- hoping that is why aucune is incorrect.
Merci d'avance pour l'aide!
This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?
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?
