French language Q&A Forum

I am curious as to the agreement of the adjective “délicieuses” in the dictation-surely it is the noun “l’air” rather than “moules” which it has to agree with? In other words, “the mussels look delicious”.

This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.

I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:

"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."

So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.

What is the negation of c’est vrai monsieur

Are these sentences incorrect [see: French is Fun Book 1 / 2020)]?  (1) Le père de Roger est un artiste.  (2) La mère de Marie est une championne de karate.  

Can you have "je courrai sur le tapis roulant pour une demie heure" because its the future tense?

Bonjour,

In one of the examples above:
Maintenant que ses parents n'étaient plus là, elle devait s'occuper de sa sœur.

However I'm confused because it states that Devoir with l'imparfait is "was supposed to [do]", however the translation is:
Now that her parents were gone, she had to take care of her sister.

Why is it not:
Now that her parents were gone, she was supposed to take care of her sister.

Merci
