Why is it 'cote d'Azure' but 'cote atlantique'?
If I wanted to say, "I misunderstood," would any one of the following be acceptable?
Je me suis mépris.
J'ai mal compris.
Je me suis trompé.
I am totally confused by the lessonand what appears to be contradicting examples, etc.
Has this been reformulated? It almost seems using c'est vs il/elle est is intuitive for native speakers but not those learning.
I was thrown by : Tu aimes mon pull? (specific) - Oui, il est tres beau.
(sorry, missing accents above)
and later: Tu aimes la soupe? (specific) - Oui, c'est reconfortant.
Petite question. Je n’ai rien trouvé concernant un doute que j’ai où le sujet dont on parle s’agit de plusieurs noms et avec quel mot on doit faire l’accord.
Exemple: La liste des mots que j’ai apprise.
Dans ce cas, je n’ai pas appris la liste donc il me semble étrange de faire l’accord avec « la liste » meme si c’est le sujet. Quelle est la règle?Can I also use aucun here ?
- Tu n’as plus de lait. [You don't have any milk. / You have no milk left.]- Tu n’as aucun lait. [You don't have any milk./ You have no milk at all.]
Do they mean the same?
I'm curious about why we say "Je lui parle", but "Je pense à lui. Can we say, "Je parle à lui" and Je lui pense"? Why does "parler" use an indirect object pronoun and "penser" use a stress pronoun? What is the reasoning behind this? Is it something to do with the meaning of the verbs, or is there no logic to it?
I am not sure why it is not que chaque esclave, or que tous les esclaves...?
the lesson says "Adjectives modified by adverbs with 2 or more syllables"
And the lesson made an example:
"Compare these examples with the following counter-example containing a one-syllable adverb:
un très joli manteau
a very pretty coat"
Based on the information the lesson provided, I assumed "une histoire très intéressante" wouldn't be right.
I saw other questions on this, but none really explained the rule.
Is it because besides having one-syllable adverb, the adjective also have to be one of those that are put before the verb?
