Why are both of these correct:
"Je n'ai vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + nulle part]
"Il n'est jamais allé nulle part." [ne + jamais + nulle part]
But not this:
"Je n'ai pas vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + pas + nulle part]
In example
Why venions? Subjunctive?
Les jambes, elles, étaient vêtues de collants de danseuse, blancs scintillants, que chaussaient de délicats talons hauts, noirs et fins.
...are the high heels the subject and chaussaient the verb and they're inverted? And the "que" that precedes them is referring back to "les jambes?"
And what about the Negations of the examples given in this lesson? Are these correct for the Negative Imperative with Adverbial Double Pronoun -
With En -
- Ne t'en donnons pas! [Let's not give you any.]
- Ne m’en parle pas! [Don’t tell me about it.]
- Ne nous en parlez pas. [Don't tell us about it.]
With Y -
- Ne m’y emmenez pas! [Don't take me there.]
- Ne t'y amusez pas! [Don't have fun there.]
With Others -
- Ne me les donne pas. [Don't give them to me.]
- Ne nous l'envoie pas. [Don't send it to us.]
Hi,
Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself 59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?
In 'nous nous étions fait piquer' why does the 'fait' not need to agree with the subject?
Why were my answers marked as wrong? Surely Six millions de dollars & Six milliards de dollars are correct.
Thank yor this useful reading text.
Is it possible to add the pronunciation of the difficult words like: campagne
I thought that the inclusion of ni … ni in this answer meant ‘neither Sam nor Paul’ not just ‘Sam and Paul’. Am I mistaken?
I'm not sure why but in this lesson, the examples I see are all in English. There is no French translation. Anyone else had this problem? I have seen it once or twice before.
