Why does the last sentence use the impersonal construction, "Pourquoi se priver" instead of "nous priver"?
Also, I translated "namely" as "en l'occurrence" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers (only "nommément" and "à savoir"). Is there a difference?
In the one question they use 'en': "Il s'en souvient. = He remembers it." I don't see anything in this lesson explaining when we would use en with this verb?
I have let my writing and dictation practice slip because I’m speaking French on a daily basis, but a lesson like this one brings home the need to keep at these weekend challenges, keep practicing, keep adding to the vocabulary bank, keep addressing the grammar.
Why is answer LA meme is object celui? Is that either male or female ?
Thanks
I am totally confused by the lessonand what appears to be contradicting examples, etc.
Has this been reformulated? It almost seems using c'est vs il/elle est is intuitive for native speakers but not those learning.
I was thrown by : Tu aimes mon pull? (specific) - Oui, il est tres beau.
(sorry, missing accents above)
and later: Tu aimes la soupe? (specific) - Oui, c'est reconfortant.
"Allez-vous au cinéma ce soir" means:
Go to the cinema tonight!
Are you going to the cinema tonight?
To go with you to the cinema
Hi,
I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.
Thank you in advance.
In the sentence, "Je vais me laisser tenter par la deuxième option qui a l'air vraiment intéressante à faire.", the adjective, intéressante, is féminine. I would have thought that this adjective is modifying the word 'air', which is masculine, rather than obliqely referring to the feminine noun, 'option'. Could you explain?
