Why does the text switch from imparfait to passé composé here:
Nous étions vraiment désolés. Nous nous sommes excusés
The text begins with present tense, but then why is it l'imparfait, when they are discussing menu. I didn't understand the reason behind it.
I’d be interested to get a feel for how often inversion is used in everyday speech and the register of the examples below, from further down the thread. Presumably the one with quand at the end is the least formal?
Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?
Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé ?
Juliette et Pauline, elles ont déménagé quand ?
How do you remember which countries/regions are masculine/feminine? I find this hard.
Bonjour, pourquoi dans la phrase “Allain s’attend à être licencié”, c’est qu’on manque le “ce que” ?
Pour quoi il faut utiliser "bonnet" dans cette histoire? Est-ce que le mot "touque" et aussi acceptable? Je crois que "touque" est le propre mot pour un chapeau d'hiver en Canada.
Hi, if I was to say ‘I have been learning French since I was in school’, would I say: ‘J’apprends français depuis j’étais à l’école’ or ‘j’apprends français depuis je suis à l’école’? I am no longer in school so I’m thinking it may be the former however I’m not sure if the whole sentence needs to be in the present tense. Thanks
