I recently saw the expression "Tant bien que mal"
In the context of usage of Que/Qui, what decides the use of 'que' here rather than 'qui' ?
Thank you
Is it acceptable to say here instead:
Sur laquelle elle s'allongeait en rêvassant pendant des heures.?
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I think in informal conversations we say like -
Il est pas jeune
instead of the more formal and more 'grammatically correct' one:
Il n'est pas jeune!
Is it correct !? Responde Sil vous Plait!
Recently I got the question "C'est une ________ maison avec un beau jardin." which translates to: This is a beautiful house with a beautiful garden. However, if this is truly translated it is C'est une belle maison avec un beau jardin. Please fix
The speakers in this dialogue (a tutor and an adult student who already know each other) used the inversion form to pose questions. Wouldn’t we expect them to use the less formal « est-ce que » form in these circumstances?
If the adjective appears before the noun then its a subjective description and after is the objective description. To me, my own house sounds like an objective description and a clean house a subjective description. So can we say this is an exception?
Is the negation Ne...aucun/aucune always used with countable nouns?? '(Je n'ai aucune idée.') I am getting confused because of this post here -
https://french.kwiziq.com/questions/view/could-you-also-use-aucun
In this post, Chris mentions that....aucun refers to countable objects, then how can we say - Nous n’y voyons aucun mal. [We don’t see any harm in it.]
Here the noun mal is not countable.
Please clarify.
I was marked only partially correct in answering the question: Another way of saying "Vous vous souvenez des îles Cyclades" is "Vous ________ îles Cyclades"
I answered “Vous vous rappelez des îles Cyclades” and was informed that Vous vous rappeles des was another possibility.
Why do you not receive full credit if an answer is correct regardless of other options in this case?
In conjugation tables, I have not seen this ending with vous. Could you please address this issue?
Thank you.
