Les vampire ont des longues dents pointues. Il y a des adjectives avant et après le nom dents. Pourquoi?
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.
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?
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.
In the exercise "The Town of Gruyères", the translation of "Before we even entered the picturesque village," is given as "Avant même que nous entrions dans le bourg/village pittoresque,". I think it should be 'nous sommes entrés dans ...'. What am I getting wrong there? Also, I'm aking my self, does an optional 'ne explétif' go before 'entrions'?
Can you use en when saying “J’habite à/au/dans Michigan? I got stumped because of a post saying you can use en, although I though this is when it’s feminine…
Bonjour, pourriez-vous changer un petit truc dans le passage, s’il vous plaît? Au lieu de la phrase
For this to be correct, doesn’t the subject have to be female? I answered that only “Tu as apparu comme un ange” was the only correct answer because I couldn’t assume that the sub just was female
