I was wondering where we are supposed to place these constructions within sentences and clauses. Some translations show after the entire clause or sentence, some show after the verb.
- Nous les avons tous les deux vu(e)s
- Nous les avons vu(e)s tous les deux
- Lui et son frère sont venus tous les deux
A general lesson about saying 'both' to describe people and objects should be made.
Maintenant or désormais? Also I keep making a mistake with prepositions please let me know I put “couvert de la sueur”.
I can follow that most of the text is in the (futur d'anticipation).
However, I am wondering why the text switched to using the infinitive (entendre), in the last sentence? and why not use the Gerondif -en entendant. like at the beginning of the fourth sentence.
In the test, it says -Il termine dans 2 minutes. shouldnt it be ..en 2 minutes. i have learnt that when some action finishes within a particular time we use en.
What does this sentence mean, "Elle a posé toutes ses lettres au tour d'après"?
Is this also the correct way of framing inversion questions with Object Pronouns??? -
1. L’Aimes-tu? / L'aimez-vous? [Do you like him/her?]
2. Lui parles-tu souvent? / Lui parlez-vous souvent? [Do you speak to him/her often?]
3. Les avez-vous vus? / Les avez-vous vues? [Have you seen them?]
Is the above way more formal, than the intonation method used in this lesson?
Hello! How can I correctly invite someone to walk to the park with me? Thank you!
Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”
This appeared in my test. The question I have is not around the the subject pronoun, but about "ont de jolies poupées". Is this a rule regarding "avoir de"? So whatever object follows it, whether it's singular or plural you always use "de"?
I took a quiz. I translated "They are calling their dog" as Ils appellent leur chien. However, the correct answer was: Ils s'appellent leur chien. How does one know when to use the reflexive?
