Does the placement of 'Du tout' affect the overall meaning of the sentence? Could it be placed in different places to give the sentence different meanings? Are there any rules of where (before or after what) we are allowed to place 'du tout' ? How does the placement of 'du tout' change when there are prepositions within the sentence ?
I look in the examples, and see 'du tout' placed after adjectives and nouns, does that negate other parts of the sentence?
I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
in this example, two questions:
Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!
1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?
2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?
Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.
Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.
Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?
Merci très beaucoup.
Hello, if "la perruque" is female, why its "noir" and not "noire"?
Moi aussi, je n'ai pas vu les liens. Où les sont ?
Hi there,
can anybody help with why que appears in the following sentence, please? "Tu dormiras dans le meme hotel que la derniere fois". The translation I have is "will you sleep in the same hotel as last time". I've not come across que as a translation for 'as' before.
Thanks in advance.
Kieran.
It took me a moment to understand this heading - does it mean that 1 Describing and 2 Expressing Opinions are two different uses of l’imparfait? (rather than both describing opinions and expressing them)
If I am sure about which salad I am eating, I would still say 'Je mange de la salade,' 'Je mange une salade,' or 'Je mange la salade.' What is the difference?
