Why favorite (feminin) and not favori when Mon (masculin) activité est le ski (masculin) de fond ? Have missed something ?
In the lesson on the passé composé of vouloir it says:
In Le Passé Composé (Indicatif), the meaning of vouloir is often closer to "tried".Does the same apply to the Plus-que-Parfait?
I understand that you are trying to be politically correct by using "they/their" when speaking of Ankou in your English translation even though it's a singular noun. If this were a non-binary French person, I could understand your effort. But in English we would say "it" for this strange, unknown figure. Why not use that? It gets very confusing.
Bonjour. Dans les propositions sans verbe, comment s'appelle le rôle de pronom tonique ? Par exemple :
" — Qui pourra le faire ? — Moi. "
" — Moi. " est la proposition qui ne contient qu'un mot, mais c'est quand même la proposition, n'est-ce pas ? Donc, est-ce le sujet ou comment ça s'appelle dans ce cas ?
Pardonnez mon français.
We are told "penser" takes the indicative for positive and takes the subjunctive for the negative. Why use the subjunctive, "aient", for "pensez vous que ces legendes aient" Why not "ont"?
Hello!
I am having doubts translating a film title that in English is "Nostalgia in Red". Is the correct translation to French "La Nostalgie en Rouge"? or does the direct translation dilute the meaning?
I would like to keep the "In" part of it because just saying La Nostalgie Rouge is a bit different.
Can you say 'd'après la célèbre comptine'?
I think in the second section of this lesson which is great on its own, more auxiliary être verbs could've been used besides aller.
