There is a typo I think in the table of irregular adverbs. Meilleure translates as best, not better.
Sorry to rehash this, but I find "follows the opposite pattern" confusing, as it really only applies to the use of avoir + demeuré, which is an intransitive use. Surely être demeuré remains (!) intransitive too, as it’s a state-of-being verb with no object?
The lesson on professions and pronouns says that when an adjective is used a pronoun is needed.
So would : "Catherine, une ancienne prof de philo"
be acceptable
Re Daniel E’s post and responses below
I’m finding the use of the subjunctive past for future actions unexpectedly tricky, I think because the English "I need to leave by nine" or "they need us to arrive", already includes the idea of a completed future action (you can’t leave without having left or arrive without having arrived!)
Is the subjunctive present ever an option in this type of sentence or is the subjunctive past mandated?
Is there a mistake in the video at approximately the 1:08 mark? The example says:
Je mange une pomme and Tu *parle* à Marie. Shouldn't it be Tu *parles* à Marie?
Hi,
I made several errors with my phrasing choices and was wondering if any of the following could have been correct:
1. Shouldn't the prompt for " Et tu as trouvé ça difficile" be "and did you find that difficult?" - since it's referring to the reading of a book in french, not the book itself? Wouldn't the translation of "did you find it [the book] difficult? " be "Et tu l'as trouvé difficile?"2. It was quite difficult and daunting at times - Could you use bien instead of plutôt/assez to mean quite?
3. Could you said "je compte desormais lire un livre en français plusieurs fois par an."?
Thanks!
Bonjour, la cinquième phrase a le mot “départments”. Qu’est - ce que c’est, un départment? Pourriez - vous m’éxpliquez? Merci beaucoup.
The vocab list for Vive les legumes has pumpkin as une citrouille, yet it was marked incorrect with les potirons as the correct answer. Where did I go wrong? Thank you
