Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.
Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.
Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?
Merci très beaucoup.
We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats!
Why is it "du" and not "des"?
where does the 'd' before 'y' come from
The pronunciation of ‘paysage’ was too difficult, I could not recognise it. Otherwise I did Ok.
Judging by the comments below and my own experience of this lesson i think it could still be tweaked to improve it. It think it would be helpful to:
* add - write out - relevant (new to some) vocabulary for decimals, commas and currencies
* emphasise how the rules for writing numbers in French are the same (or different) when used for currencies vs other contexts
* provide and describe a few more complex examples, including the outliers (eg uncommon use of a decimal point in French), with at least one example of a French number which translates to three or more decimal points in English. The latter would be very useful because it highlights how our Eng/French translation brain can get confused (evident in these discussions) because it looks identical to the English version of numbers in the thousands.
While translating I came accross this sentence " L'homme n'attend plus ses opinions, sa conscience, son bonheur que de l'ordre d'un autre" and I don't understand the meaning of the construction of " n'attendre plus.... que de l'ordre d'un autre".
Thank you for your help!!
Hello, at the question On a rendez-vous à ______ (We're meeting at six PM.)
I wrote six heures de l'après-midi instead of the correct answer dix-huit heures. Why my answer is wrong?
Thanks
missing liason with pas and encore no?
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"?
Hi, a couple of lines had missing audio.
