The sentence:
-J'aurais donc besoin de partir d'ici vers 4 h du matin.
Could the future simple be used equally here?:
-J'aurai donc besoin de partir d'ici ver 4 h du matin.
I can't figure this out: When does "pas encore" mean not again?
If I search on google translate or deepl or reverso context for example, all translations of "not again" are "pas encore".
Why? if it is supposed to be incorrect.
Then we cross the spring-green vine arches,
Puis nous traversons les arches de vigne d'un verts printanier,Puis nous traversons les arches de vigne d'un vert printanier,
Does the green not refer to the arches (Plural)?
In one of the tests the answer included « choose one or the other. » We would normally say « Choose one or other (of them). » ‘The one’ or ‘the other’, sounds clunky even if grammatical. :)
I've seen the word weekend spelled with () & without () the hyphen in different French publications. As this is an adopted English word is there actually any guidance for how to correctly spell this or is it just a matter of style?
This is a phone call, correct? Why was my word Allo (with accent on the A)marked incorrect in the first line?
I translated this as 'Ce sera tellement rigolote' presuming we were talking about the 'farce' which is feminine. It was corrected as rigolo masculine. ?
Is there a difference?
Because "gens" is "people" - plural - I put "...les gens qui sortent constamment leurs portables de leurs poches". Is there anything in the pronuncation that I missed that showed it was definitely singular? Or is it a rule in french that you would always say "they took their phone from their pocket" unless they all owned several phones and were taking them out of more than one pocket each? Or...was my answer plausibly a correct hearing?
