So the question was:
How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?
1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.
2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.
3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.
4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.
So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1, but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2.
What gives?
Yes, for introducing me to some new expressions, i.e. "tu n'as pas l'air dans ton assiette", "j'ai du mal à fermer l'œil" and "de fester de marbre". Now, to try to use them!
I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?
Why is there no preposition "de" after the verb "descend" in the phrase: "Elle descend les escaliers" ?
How would you say « whom do you miss »?
How to describe someone more
It really sounds like 'Telle conversation passionnante' rather than 'quelle'. Am I mis-hearing it ?
We deserve some chocolates
The answer kwiziq gave was: Nous méritons du chocolats!
Why is it "du" and not "des"?
In another French course, some years ago, I was given the sentence :
"Ça fait trois ans que je l'ai, et je n'ai pour ainsi dire pas eu d'ennui avec."
This appears to end with a preposition. Is it wrong?
