I understand the grammar in this example...
Est-ce que tu sais marcher sur les mains ? - Non, je ne sais pas le faire.Do you know how to walk on your hands ? - No, I don't [know how to do that].But the lesson goes on to say...Note that in many such cases, you add the neutral verb faire to refer to an action.It would be good to have a bit more guidance on which cases require the addition of faire. Is it compulsory in some cases? Is there a rule?
Regarding this sentence:
Marie, quelle idée fantastique tu as eue
Why does the past participle eue agree here? Is it the case of the subordinate clause with que?
Should the sentence be:
Marie, quelle idée fantastique QUE tu as eue
Hi,
Is there a lesson that explains the difference between amener and emmener as I am always mixing them up !
Thanks
I read in the site somewhere that with body parts its always the definite article and not possessive adjective. But here its says ses joues and i think son coeur.
Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible), "Cette écharpe lui va" would be a correct way to say "This scarf suits them" because it's not clear from the English sentence if "them" is plural (group of people) or singular (someone whose gender isn't known/specified), right? Or is that too much of Anglo interpretation?
The correct answer was listed as "Cette écharpe leur va".
What is wrong with saying “j’ai trouvé
leur livre” for “I found their book”? Isn’t it the same as “j’ai trouvé le livre des enfants “?
Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence
Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever
I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?
Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?
Thanks,
Max
When do you use "que" and when do you use "dont"?
I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence. Please comment.
