When do you use "que" and when do you use "dont"?
Hi,
Is there a lesson that explains the difference between amener and emmener as I am always mixing them up !
Thanks
Bonjour à tous!
The phrase is: "Après qu'ils sont arrivés et que nous les avons présentés, nous les avons laissé faire connaissance."
I have reviewed the lesson 'Special cases when the past participle agrees...' as well as, student comments going back three years, and l am stumped as to why the past participle of, "...nous les avons laissé faire connaissance" does not agree with the direct object pronoun 'les' (Stéphane and Aline). I understand that "présentés" agrees through the subordinate clause with 'que'. Why would 'laissé' not do the same with it's own direct object pronoun? ... assuming l have it right that both 'les' are direct object pronouns ... Merci!
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)
Could you please explain why the future tense of être (to be) is incorrect when translating 'there'll be'.
I needed to research these expressions.
Wait! Don’t go to bed yet!
If the first part of the question is stated in second person plural, why is ‘ne te couche pas’ right and ‘ne vous couchez pas’ wrong?
would 'j'ai achete pour ma mere un weekend' be correct ? ( cant do the accents )
Why does, "I think that I am ready" not trigger the subjunctive and make it "je pense que je sois prête"?
Which tense would lendemain be , as it can be used in both imparfait,future anterieur
