In the lesson it says:
As for the years post 2000's,
There is only one way to read them, and that is as a full number:
But there are still many years to come after the year 2000 (infinitely many actually).
So, how would you say 'the 10th of March 2155'? (my 200th birthday :)
"Le dix mars vingt et-un-cents cinquante cinq" or "Le dix mars deux mille deux cents cinquante cinq" (or neither)?
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".
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
I needed to research these expressions.
I don't get why the tenses change from perfect to imperfect? it's the same sentence?
why is 'épargner' wrong for 'economiser' - does it not mean 'to save' (as in money)?
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)
I used
1) 'récompensant' for 'gratifiant'
Also
2)'ausculter' for 'diagonistique'
3)pour sept ans instead of 'pendant sept ans'
Please let me know if its right
Merci
P.J
is diagnostiquer an er verb?
Why is "le" marked as correct if we have "de" in subordinate clause?
It should be "en"
In another example, given below you say that "en" is correct for a similar case
