Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect? I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!
I know this exercise is about numbers, but i do not understand the following examples:
Il lui envoie deux-mille roses.He sends her two thousand roses.Il lui envoie deux milliers de roses.He sends her two thousand roses.Why does 'lui' translate as 'her' in both these examples? I thought 'lui' when used like this refers to him, and that 'elle' would be her?
Thanks
I know it is only correct to say Je vain manger à huit heures. However, in response to À quelle heure ?, I've seen the phrase At nine o'clock written as both À neuf heures and A neuf heures. Are both A and À correct to use in this instance?
'Après avoir considéré de faire peindre le mur' why is "DE" used? is 'considéré de' an expression
'plutôt que de remettre du papier peint' why is there "DE" here too?
Hi when I create a notebook I'm asked if I want it to be made public or not. Where can I find these public notebooks?
Thanks, Jeramy
Google Translate has 'envoûtant' instead of 'fascinantes' as translation for 'mesmerising' - and Word reference seems to agree. Is this an OK substitute?
I make up the following, but I can't find the answers online. Are "moi" and "toi" correct here? If yes, is there an explanation why "me" and "te" are not used here?
Give it to me! = Donne le moi!
Give it to you? = Donne le toi?
Give it to him/her! = Donne le lui!
Give it to us! = Donne le nous!
Give it to them! = Donne le leur!
Bonjour et merci pour ce beaux exercise. Deux petits comments: En anglais vous avez ecrit "choose", qui et le present; vous voulez surement "chose", qui et le passe simple. :) Et une librarie et une bibliotheque ne sont pas la meme chose, oui? Merci ! Pardon le manque des accents.
Q1) Isn't this correct?
Vous m'y avez parlé. [You spoke to me there.] (Parler à)
Q2) Isn't the scenario of Indirect Object Pronoun/COI with Adverbial Y possible? If not, why??
Q3) And similarly, vice-versa the scenario of Direct Object Pronoun/COD with Adverbial En is also not possible?? Hence, is it a rule that it will always be [COD + y] and [COI + en] in Double Pronouns??
