Good morning,
How do I insert accents while doing a dictation exercise?
Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
If 'Je suis monté en voiture' means 'I got into the car', how does one say (if visiting someone on a hill and they asks how you got there) 'I came up by car ?
Surely that is also 'Je suis monté en voiture'.....
In the first sentence. Can you use 'autant que possible' in this instance?
Vous avez utilisé cinq points d'exclamation dans cette dictée!
Asked to translate “I will pick you up at 5pm Saturday “, I wrote “ Je te chercherai à 17 heures samedi”. Apparently this is incorrect, the correct response being, “ Je passerai te chercher à 17 heures samedi”. What was wrong with my answer?
Just wanna double check, in the sentance "J'admire leurs belles créations" there is actually no way of hearing if it's plural or singular? Or am i suppose to understand that it was suppose to be plural somehow?
I suspect the prepositions in this lesson don’t mean the same in US and British English.
As a Brit, I wouldn’t say either stop by or pop by somewhere. Pass by and go past mean the same as each other and don’t imply you stopped or went inside: for that, I’d use "go", "pop" or "drop" "into" or "in to" or another construction like "I went to see Laurent at his house".
So I’m not clear if "Elle est passée chez Laurent" means she went in to see him or went past his house without stopping?
(Setting aside the usage of "place", as in "Laurent’s place")
