Au cours des années, elle m'a transmis sa passion - why is passé composé used? She clearly says 'over the years' so a repeated action? surely the imparfait would be used here?
I was definitely listening to this exercise in French but the answers were shown in English with various options provided. That's not how this usually works, unless I've been drinking too much eggnog...
In my last test the answer was ‘le jour de Pâques‘. I got it wrong. Now the answer is ‘à la Sainte-Catherine‘. I got it wrong. Next the answer is ‘à Noël’. I got it wrong. Could you put all the rules on one page please, so I can see the pattern? Thanks.
Writing as someone whose education didn’t include instruction in all the tenses - or, more truthfully, I just wasn’t paying attention - I’d like to know when to use subjunctive present instead of plain ordinary present. I suppose I could just Google it but I’d rather find it in Kwiziq. This is more an observation than a question. Thanks for your time.
Even though the verb se moquer is reflexive, why don't you say me moquer if someone is mocking me, instead of se moquer as one test question has it?
Si seulement c'était si facile de rendormir les enfants :-)
In your lesson, you describe …aine as being ‘about’ or ‘or so’ and yet in the example you translate deux douzaine… as being ‘two dozen’. In UK English , a dozen is NORMALLY, exactly 12, but I acknowledge it CAN also have ‘or so’ connotations. Perhaps not the best example? Love the site for learning French by the way. Much better than well-known alternatives)
hi,
I was wondering what is the easiest way to know when something is in the 12 hour clock or when something is in the 24 hour clock? This seems to be my most problem in this section of understanding.
thanks
