Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?
"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."
I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?
Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations? Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.
I'm not sure why is not an acceptable way to express struggle. From Le grand Robert:
II V. intr. (Fin XIe). Se donner de la peine, du mal*. ➙ Appliquer (s'), efforcer (s'), évertuer (s'), fatiguer (et se fatiguer), gémir (fig.), trimer (fam.) ;→ 1. Coût, cit. 27 ; élite, cit. 5. Peiner comme une bête (cit. 11) de somme, comme un forçat… Peiner jour (cit. 42) après jour. — Élève qui peine sur une composition (cit. 8) latine (au sens III, 2, de peine). Il peinait pour s'exprimer (→ Facilement, cit. 3). — Par ext. Respiration, souffle qui peine (→ Oxygène, cit. 3).© 2023 Dictionnaires Le Robert - Le Grand Robert de la langue française
In spoken French, do Conditionnel Passé and Le Futur Antérieur sound noticeable different? It seems like it would be confusing.
When do you use "que" and when do you use "dont"?
Thank you for doing slower recordings, it helps a great deal 👍🏻
The hint that is given first has cinque with lowercase, but when I used that I got it wrong.
Dans cette example : " C'est le vin le plus sec que l'on puisse trouver ", pourquoi on dit " que l'on " mais pas " qu'on " ?
