Hello I have difficulty understanding this phrase from a podcast. Does it mean it changed a week ago?
In the last sentence, "I will go there to cheer you on.", the word 'there' is translated as 'là' and the use of 'y' was not accepted. Is it just a question of emphasis? I searched for a lesson to clarify the usage of 'y' and 'là' but was not successful. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?
I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary.
As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!
The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."
Please help me!
Why did the quiz ask only one question, yet the results show 2 questions, one unanswered?
As near as I can tell, no transitive usage of DESCENDRE is followed by a preposition, and whenever descendre does take a preposition, it's an intransitive verb. This doesn't tell which of the many meanings of DESCENDRE obtain, but it does seem a reasonable heuristic device. Your thoughts....?
l'homme avec un couteau qui était tapi derrière le fauteuil familier de la femme / the man with a knife who was crouching behind the woman's familiar armchair
An alternative correct answer to the above was "...qui tapissait derrière..."
In that case, shouldn't (my answer) "...qui s'accroupissait derrière...' also be acceptable?
Should this prompt be "tradition has it that he or she be crowned king or queen for the day!"?
