Bonjour - what purpose does the “le” in this exercise sentence have?
Nous paraissons plus jeunes que nous le sommes.
We look younger than we are.Merci beaucoup
Bonjour--
De temps en temps, je vois une construction selon l'exemple :
"Et Christophe (ou Pierre, Marie, etc.) de dire (ou autre verbe)..."
Pourriez-vous me confirmer 1) si cette construction est courante, et 2) si elle reflete un francais litteraire, ou bien a la rigueur si elle fait partie du francais couramment parle?
Un grand merci,
Fred
Why is this "que l'on" rather than "qu'on" ? I don't understand the "l"
Is the phrasing « but here it doesn’t mean no / any’ » not confusing in the last portion of the lesson, since the entry in this latter part addresses un/une where they earlier indicate de etc being the indicator of no / any…. The « but » should be removed, no?
Whilst not specific to this lesson - there are lot of references in these lessons to language choices that are "more elegant" than another. Is this just another way of saying "more formal", or do the French have a specific desire or appreciation for elegant language? In English we would never describe our language choices as one way being more elegant than another. I'm just curious!
Salut
If pas encore cannot be used at the end of a sentence then why can I say: On ne travaille pas encore. As in the example given in the lesson?
Merci en avance
Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"
I would have translated this as Elle est malade. Elle aura du oublié de mettre son écharpe.
If both are correct, what is the difference between them?
In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel, referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility. Why not?
After learning all A1 vocab, will I be at level A1. Does it cover all topics regarding vocab? Merci.
