Hello, in the first example mentioned
"I saw magnificent places"
The answer in french is "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques."
Why is it "des" here instead of d'endroits ??
Why is answer LA meme is object celui? Is that either male or female ?
Thanks
I have a question for a team member. The above sentence can translate as 1 One can’t park here (impersonal, general) 2 You can’t park here (also impersonal and general but less formal) or 3 We can’t park here (personal, specific)
In English, the general sense of the first two is similar but the meaning of the third differs. Is that true in French as well, or are the various senses of "on" closer? Presumably it’s clear from context which one is meant.
"I will pass through Paris." Is one of the below incorrect? Why?
- Je passerai par Paris.
- Je passerai à travers Paris.
I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying. Agreeing? disagreeing?
In the following sentence why is him the word lui and not le? I thought lui was usually used only with verbs that could be associated with à. The example: “ “It’s necessary that I find him an original gift.”
according to another app I’m using the correct answer is: “ il faut que je lui trouve un cadeau original” and not “il faut que je le trouve un cadeau original” I’m confused with this.
Some example please, in negative and questions?
Q1) Isn't this correct?
Vous m'y avez parlé. [You spoke to me there.] (Parler à)
Q2) Isn't the scenario of Indirect Object Pronoun/COI with Adverbial Y possible? If not, why??
Q3) And similarly, vice-versa the scenario of Direct Object Pronoun/COD with Adverbial En is also not possible?? Hence, is it a rule that it will always be [COD + y] and [COI + en] in Double Pronouns??
Pour la phrase, "pendant que les adultes admireront..." j'ai dit, "tandiq que des adultes admireront..." Une correction j'ai recu etait "tandis que d'adultes admireront..." Vous pouvez expliquer pourquoi on dit d'adultes et pas des adultes?
Merci
