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.
Hi, I use this app a lot (every day) for French grammar. I was doing the excersise and in a little bit confused on when to use a ‘!’ and ‘?’ in the phrase that’s being read to me. How do I know when to use them because if it’s a robot, they don’t talk with a high pitched voice when there's an exclamation mark and have a confused tone when there’s a question mark in the sentence. I’m sorry if this is confusing, I’m not the best writer, but if you hopefully understand what I’m trying to say, please kindly explain the answer to my question. Thank you
In what part of this sentence could you add "nearly", and what is the word for this? If I said, "My parents have been married for 20 years", or "Mes parents sont mariés il y a vingt ans", how would I say "My parents have been married for nearly 20 years" ? Does this require a different expression entirely? For context, I would be explaining that their wedding anniversary is next month.
Just wondering when to use il faut que + subjunctive verb as opposed to the former lesson where il faut was used without que + subjunctive verb? It seems to translate roughly the same?
Is the distinction the same as in English, where "the coffee" is specific to a particular coffee in the current context? And "coffee" without the article is talking about coffee in general?
I used the verb s'éveiller for "wake up", but it was not given as one of the alternatives. I thought "se lever" meant "to get up (out of bed)", rather than specifically to wake up. Can you clarify?
"ce sont des filles"
