Why do I see people say "Quel/Quelle est la/le ........?" but in this exercise it is mark wrong?
2Tu ________ demeuré immobile tout le long.You remained still all the way.esas
In one of the tests the answer included « choose one or the other. » We would normally say « Choose one or other (of them). » ‘The one’ or ‘the other’, sounds clunky even if grammatical. :)
How come its Les yeux but mes bras? Thanks ???
Et pour les petits creux et autres faims de loup
To my ear the "et" in this sentence sounds like the way I would (try to) pronounce "eux". Is the pronunciation here idiomatic ?
These listening exercises are really helping me, Thanks!
What the best way to say "I will not go" in French
Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”
To say - "The thief is in prison for 2 years." ....are all of the below correct/acceptable ? Is 'Depuis' more preferable with present tense/ present durations and no. 2) 'Pour' is incorrect? because Pour is used with future tense/ future durations only as per this lesson?? Please clarify.
1. Le voleur est en prison depuis 2 ans.
2. Le voleur est en prison pour 2 ans.
3. Le voleur est en prison pendant/durant 2 ans. (also acceptable bcoz action is within a specific timeframe, as per this lesson?)
So, out of the above no. 1)- 'Depuis' is the most preferable way to say it because we are using present tense (and the action is still ongoing)?? And 'Pour' is not correct because it is strictly for future durations as per this lesson?
