To my knowledge, 'le plus que parfait' is used to indicate actions before a (supposedly) principal action, denoted in passe compose, in the past. I have had a hard time with what this principal action here.
Ce film, qu'il avait réalisé, écrit et produit, est un chef-d'œuvre absolu
Je n'avais pas entendu parler de ce film avant
Il a aussi réalisé la série à succès Big Little Lies
I didn't understand the justification for the tenses used here. If someone can help me with this, I would deeply appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
I got both quiz questions for this wrong because they were questions. There were no questions marks so one would assume that they were statements rather than questions - Lisez-vous ce livre is different to lisez-vous ce livre?
Why was I marked wrong on a quiz for including "quel est un pain au chocolat" in ways to say what is a pain au chocolat?
The Listen button for the tenir conjugations is not working. I press it and it just repeats the venir conjugations instead.
There are two examples of the verb, s'avérer, in this exercise:
1) Et les compétences que j'ai acquises comme avocate se sont avérées inestimables dans ce nouveau domaine.
2) Ce changement se sera avéré être la meilleure chose que tu aies jamais faite.
My dictionary translates s'avérer as "prove to be" or "turn out to be". In the second example, the infinitive être is added to s'avérer whereas in the first it is absent. Is être optional? If the 'to be' is included in the definition, why is être necessary in the second example?
When to use ‘je me sens’ and when ‘je sens’! The question was "Je ne sens rien." can mean?: and one correct answer was 'I don’t feel anything'. I thought that was incorrect as ‘me’ was needed for ‘feel' , but seemingly not, so when is it? Couldf someone explain please?
Since the speaker is trying to sound like a ghost, the pronunciation suffers on this one. Just one glaring example - the last sentence, "c'est" sounds like "si".
I had written this as plural: "différentes combinaisions lors des combats", but on listening again, what was said before it was clearly "à" rather than "aux", so I changed it to singular: "à différente combinaision lors de combats".
Since it is actually plural - which certainly makes more sense! - I cannot understand why it isn't "aux différentes combinaisions" ?
I was doing the quiz and there was 2 answers that were the same. I picked the first one and got it wrong because it was the second one. Can someone fix this?
Un excellent travail sur le subjonctif et le vocabulaire. J’ai recopié les exercices B2 et C1 de cette semaine pour les réviser plus tard. Merci! : )
