I'm having a terrible time with pronunciation of these verbs. Google translate doesn't pick it up well even when I play clips of the native speakers. Any suggestions?
"Wait, I'm passing Paul onto you."
What does this sentence mean? I'm not a native english speaker but this sentence makes no sense.
Based on the french sentence, I deduce it has something to do with a phone conversation.
Ex- "Je n'aime pas les foules et je déteste danser" from "
I don't like crowds and I hate dancing"
I came up with "Je deteste les foules et je hate danser"
Some vernacular examples would help.
There are a lot of interesting tense changes to consider in this exercise! But why do we hop back into the present tense here:
“until she gave birth to her daughter Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle accouche de sa fille Claude”
“jusqu'à ce qu'elle donne naissance à sa fille Claude”
Why is fut used in the above, rather than était.To the best of my knowledge, we have not been introduced to the Historic?
