I think a better translation for: "Je tins la robe avant d'aller à la soirée." is , "I wore the dress before going to the soiré" the "correct" translation, "I held the dress before going to the soiré" makes little sense, the response could only be, "Oh?".
On the Lawless French Causative Construction with Objects and Agreement page (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/faire-causative-2/) there is a cartoon of some kids washing a car with the caption 'Je les fais laver la voiture'. Why is it 'les' and not 'leur'?
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?
Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs.
Could "bivouaquer" be used to say set up camp?
Why does "épaisse" go before the noun? Is "couche épaisse" incorrect?
Can you please share the rule regarding placement of 'Ne...Aucun/Aucune' in Compound Tenses?? It does not seem to follow the regular rule. It would be great if it is also added to this lesson.
Hi, I have just taken the French proficiency exam and this was a question I answered incorrectly, but I am confused as the answer seems to be opposite of the original sentence:
Je crains qu’il tombe malade. » Quelle phrase a le même sens et grammaticalement correct ?
Correct answer: Je crains qu’il ne tombe malade
Your answer: Je crains qu’il est malade. I don't understand the error and I don't understand the use of 'ne' but not 'pas.' Can anyone help?
