« ma mère s’est fait ranger ma chambre « n’est pas français. it is total nonsense.
Where the lesson says "Both mille and un millier de are followed by a plural verb (sont venus)", am I correct in saying that this only occurs when these adjectives are modifying the subject? The rule is listed after a number of examples, some of which have the adjectives as part of the object/ with no verb following). Let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks!
I would like to particularly congratulate the person who gave us this piece. Not only was it enlightening for me, but it was also a perfect B2 listening exercise. Thank you. Now to my question. I understand the admonition about the use of present tense to relate a historical story. How does the use of the future perfect in the first paragraph relate to this? Were there other choices for this tense?
There seems to be a mistake on this page. Everything is in English!
Line 9: The audio says "effeuillez d'abord les fleurs,"
.......but d'abord is crossed out as incorrect by kwiziq in my written response.
Why wasn't "d'ici minuit" an acceptable translation for "by midnight"?
" Ayant passé une très bonne journée ..." Is this the past form of 'le gérondif'? Oops! Having just posed the question, I think I found the answer in the link in the lesson. So, would it be correct if I said, "Ayant juste posé cette question, j'ai trouvé la réponse." ?
Can you explain the difference? When I looked up branch (of a river), my dictionary gave branchement. This was not accepted in the context of this story.
