In the sentence, ”Tandis que je regarde autour de moi, je me sens émue de voir autant de personnes présentes aujourd'hui”, why is ’pendant que’ not an acceptable alternative ?
Why us GOT? I realise that "I've got"is frequently used by English speakers, but I've is a contraction of "I have", therefore the use of Got in the sentence is unnecessary, and poor English.
The lessons says to use either. Where is the explanation/lesson details?
Im just a bit confused since, i am trying to learn french and on the 7th or 8th question, it said hand sanitizer is gel hydracoolique, but ive never heard such a word! I dont know, im just a bit confused since, for new people at french, this word (i dont think) shouldn't be used, since i am getting better and better each day, but again, ive never heard this word, nor seen it, for that matter. I dont want to be a pain, but i think this shouldn't be used.
Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...
t's describing something habitual that happened over a long period of tim. It's in the middle of a longer passage also in the imparfait setting the scene for a discrete action to come....
Thanks in advance for the insights I know you will provide.
If would have + movement verb uses Être, would this apply to should have and could have versions of the same sentence? Or do they continue to use avoir + dû/pu ?
Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?
I don't understand this sentence at all. Perhaps de rever, but first person singular? The rest of the exercise is in the past, it has already happened.
The sentence starting with -
Oui, le buffet est ouvert -
Do you not pronounce the second syllable of buffet?
when we say the more X, the more Y...we dont need le or la? to indicate "the" like "the more i run, the more i am happy"
