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"?
Why is this "que l'on" rather than "qu'on" ? I don't understand the "l"
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?
Is it possible to say ' bien au-delà d'un cadeau quelconque '?
Just checking: In looking at the sentence, "Écoutez cette conversation entre Marc et son amie Lola." It is son becuase it is his meaning Marc's friend, but amie becuase Lola is feminine correct? So, if I say "Ma meuillere amie est Laura. I use ma because I am female and meuillere amie because Laura is female. I could also say "Mon meuilleur ami, Charles."
Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...
t's describing something habitual that happened over a long period of tim. It's in the middle of a longer passage also in the imparfait setting the scene for a discrete action to come....
Thanks in advance for the insights I know you will provide.
I don't understand the construction of " j'avais des démangeaisons ". What is the role of "des"? It looks like a preposition between an auxiliary verb and a main verb. Or is "démangeaisons " a noun? It certainly looks like a verb. Thanks for any help.
I answered like this, il le lui a refusé? Il le nous a refusé aussi, I was wrong. What went wrong, please?
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 😂
