I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.
Hi,
I encountered a similar question in the test. In the test, it was:
I would like either money or a present and the answer is J'aimerais soit de l'argent soit un cadeau
I see "de l'argent" is used instead of "l'argent". Is it because this is rather an order than a preference?
But then I wonder, how should I express a preference like:
I like either money or a present
Should I say "J'aime soit l'argent soit un cadeau"?
Bonjour.
Désolé. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette phrase est incorrecte (it was marked as such in the results of the quiz):
Où est-ce que mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?Seems like we have the question word at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the inverted verb and then the subject, no?
1. Ses déclarations étranges auront déconcerté le public.
how to write this in passive form?
When I wrote 's'il vous plaît' (i.e. with a circumflex on the second 'i'), it was, to my mind, mis-corrected in the answer, which suggested that I should remove the circumflex.
Is it incorrect to use "Est-ce quoi la Sorbonne?". It was marked incorrect on a quiz. Is that because I can't invert c'est in this case?
Especially those with "que" followed by noun.
I can still wrap my mind around and understand "Qu'est-ce que c'est?", but "Qu'est-ce que c'est que un stylo", how are they connected with "que"?
Forgive me if I wrote some sentence wrong, it's really kind of weird for me to remember 😂
Salut!
Maintenant je pose mon premier question et j'ai peur qu'il sera bête, mais - on y va !
J'ai fait le "writing practice" "Bad matchmaker" et j'ai essayé de traduire "we let them get acquainted".
J'ai mis:
nous les avons laissés faire connaissance
et le Kwizbot a mis:
nous les avons laissé faire connaissance.Les = Aline et Stéphane.
Pourquoi puis-je ne pas mettre un "s" après "laissé" ?
Merci pour votre aide ! =)

I answered like this, il le lui a refusé? Il le nous a refusé aussi, I was wrong. What went wrong, please?
Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"
