The fill in the blanks exercise was about people arriving in a new town, to find the streets empty of people. "Tous les magasins de la ville étaient fermés." This was followed by a sentence in the past tense (walking on empty streets from 3pm till 5pm) Then came the sentence being queried (post below). Thanks so very much to all who responded earlier.
Why "dans"? Isn't stadium a general place rather than a specific one? Like "in prison" = "en la prision"?
Bonjour,
Can you explain how to determine which nouns are masculine and which are feminine?
Merci
Qu’est-ce que c’est « un plaid »? Est-ce une couverture ?
Hi, the answer for “Commande en même temps” reads “Commande en même temps, ça ira plus vite !”, giving away the next section, which is “ça ira plus vite !”. Also, this feels more like a A1 than a B1.
The tense chosen for pouvoir in this case is the conditional, which to me translates as "would you tell..." and not as "could you tell..." I get this wrong a lot and I am aware of the lesson but still err in regard to translating could. Help!
Does anyone have any recommendations of how to get a full on immersive french experience in France? I am trying to get ready for DALF C1 exam and want to improve fluency quickly. I am looking for 2–3 weeks in France ideally with 3-4hours of structured learning. Ideally staying with someone who speaks only french. Institute Francais seems to have something but it is very expensive and probably too intense.
Are these correct?
1. J'étais née le lundi 26 mars 1983.
2. J'étais née lundi. (I was born on Monday) ...talking about a specific context / specific thing that happened on that day, so no "le" used?
3. La réunion est le mercredi 14 avril à 8h.
4. La réunion est mercredi. (The meeting is on Wednesday) .....talking about a specific context / specific thing that will happen on that day, so no "le" used?
How come its Les yeux but mes bras? Thanks ???
Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
