Why is the answer to this: Sarah ________ la salade à Michel.
se passe as opposed to passe?
Isn't this a simple act of passing something, as in the first example, "passer quelque chose"? I understood that it only needed the reflexive pronoun for something happening or someone doing without something. Can you enlighten me?
Thanks.
Michel ne rêvait plus que d'une chose:
On peut aussi dire
Michel ne rêvait de plus qu'une chose. ??
Excusez moi madame? I do not know how to conjugate the verb Entre
good reading exercise for young readers
in the sentece 'a variety of TV programs appeared..' one answer conjugates apparaitre with etre: 'À cette époque, une variété de programmes télé sont apparus..' . I would have used 'avoir'. Ami I missing something or am I just having a bad day?
Hello, I'm aware of the rules for this case, but the translation was what stopped me from writing this. "Devrais" generally means "should", but that translation doesn't work here. Would this be an exception, then? Thank you.
Hi, I think there are too many hints in many of these exercises (including this one). Specifically, the type of hint that tells you what word or words to use. These prevent you from making your own attempt. Personally, I’d remove these.
When I listen to the entire passage, I clearly hear the word elle in the last sentence. When I listen to the last sentence as given in the exercise, I hear what sounds like 'on' instead of elle. I don't have the best ears, but it is what I hear.
Why not on est resté
or nous sommes restés
« On » is singular, grammatically speaking, like the impersonal/formal « one » in English, but in the example it appears to be being treated as plural « nous »
I would have thought On est restés was incorrect.
