Why is the "il lui coupait" in imparfait and not passé composé? It interprets the first actions (aunt speaking), so I thought it should be passé composé.
I've always found it confusing to use both of them like in this phrase is it les œufs en chocolats or les œufs de chocolats?
a specious explanation. Brushing of my hair!
Why does “started to cry” use mettre? “ mis a pleurer. Can’t make sense of it
Greetings of the day!
what is the difference between " l'art plastique" and "le dessin"?
to - ma'am Cecile
thanks and regards
I find the questions which ask things like "If I say "Tu es français.", who am I speaking to: Lucie or Hugo?" quite frustrating, because the gendering of names isn't fixed. According to https://madame.lefigaro.fr/prenoms/prenom/garcon/lucie, Lucie, whilst predominantely feminine, has been a mixed name for over a century.
It might be helpful to add a hint to these kinds of questions that says "Hugo is male, Lucie is female".Convert this sentence into plural form
"Note that, like for dates in general..." is incorrect English. It should be "Note that, as for dates in general..." or "Note that, like dates in general..."
If would have + movement verb uses Être, would this apply to should have and could have versions of the same sentence? Or do they continue to use avoir + dû/pu ?
