Would there be anything wrong with saying 'Nous n'avons pas du tout été déçus' ?
Thank you!
I think faire faire and se faire + infinitif are quite hard for English speakers to get their heads round. Is there a reason that only one of the examples is in the present tense? Even that one is ambiguous (ils se font couper les cheveux - could be they’re getting their hair cut as we speak or are just about to).
Why is the correct answer à moitié, which I take to mean halfway, an adverb?un demià la demiune demieune moitié
I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence. Please comment.
Why is there a direct object pronoun in this sentence, "je poserai autant de vacances que je le pourrai"? What does "le" refer to here? Can you say, "je poserai autant de vacances que je pourrai"?
I put "passé" rather than "passée" - usually a straightforward mistake - but on this occasion, I'm thinking and thinking, but I can't see what it is that "passée" is agreeing with. La soixantaine? Or Forme physique? And if so, why ?
The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question: "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"
It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).
Hi,
We can't hear "Apportez un pique-nique."
Why is the expression not included in the list of given words? Surely it is less common than say enfin, car which are included?
Regards,
