Why is this not in the passe compose? tout le monde a eu son ....
Why are we using de in front of faisons in the last sentence ?
I translated ' to enjoy the delicious traditional meal' as ' pour se régaler du délicieux repas traditionnel'
I understood 'se régaler' was used to express the enjoyment of food rather than just eating it.
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?
Johnny
I just wondered if we have to use C'était un bâtarde rather then il était because Pip was not a human being
And what about the Negations of the examples given in this lesson? Are these correct for the Negative Imperative with Adverbial Double Pronoun -
With En -
- Ne t'en donnons pas! [Let's not give you any.]
- Ne m’en parle pas! [Don’t tell me about it.]
- Ne nous en parlez pas. [Don't tell us about it.]
With Y -
- Ne m’y emmenez pas! [Don't take me there.]
- Ne t'y amusez pas! [Don't have fun there.]
With Others -
- Ne me les donne pas. [Don't give them to me.]
- Ne nous l'envoie pas. [Don't send it to us.]
I'm returning to this lesson after being away from it awhile. And I have the same concern as before: The examples do not tie to the ones on the tests. Terribly confusing. Sometimes using "a", other times not. What gives? I can't be the only one rattled by this, Could someone please simplify this for me? Thanks.
