The text says "Note that in each case where être is the auxilliary, the verb passer is followed by a preposition (en, sur, dans, à etc.). "
But then we have the example "Elle est passée chez Laurent hier"
Surely "chez laurent" is a noun?
In the listening exercise: Choisir ses études (A2), shouldnt the adjective fascinant be feminine given its referent 'La Psychologie'?
The text in question.
Je vais étudier la Psychologie parce que je trouve ça fascinant.
Please advise. THanks
Is it acceptable to say ' Celui qui trouve la fève' instead of 'Quiconque trouve...'?
Hello!
I am having doubts translating a film title that in English is "Nostalgia in Red". Is the correct translation to French "La Nostalgie en Rouge"? or does the direct translation dilute the meaning?
I would like to keep the "In" part of it because just saying La Nostalgie Rouge is a bit different.
Why is "rapports" plural in the first sentence?
Also, in the second sentence, why is there no article before "amis" ("On était amis"), but in another sentence, there is an article ("qu'on soit plus que des amis")?
There was no audio for this part. I clicked on "play" and it changed to "pause" as expected, but there was no sound.
But when is it Avoir vs Etre? I cant seem to learn the rule for this
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.
J’ai traduit le mot, ’squint’, par ’loucher’ au lieu de ’plisser les yeux’. Le dictionnaire cite tous les deux comme acceptable, mais l’exercice accepte seulement le deuxième. Pourquoi ?
Il faut que j'aille chercher mes parents
vs. je dois chercher mes parents
vs. il faut que je cherche mes parents
Pourquoi les autres deux réponses ne sont pas correctes?
