Hi Team,
Does the following sentence work in French:
Cela ne tient pas compte d'effets négatifs de la lumière bleue qui perturbe notre horloge biologique.
Bonne journée !
Some of the lines are still being skipped.
The speakers in this dialogue (a tutor and an adult student who already know each other) used the inversion form to pose questions. Wouldn’t we expect them to use the less formal « est-ce que » form in these circumstances?
Puis-je avoir why not apostrophe j' ?
difference? when used?
I note the possible answers were "Retirer de l’argent / Retrait d’argent / Retrait d’espèces". I do realise retirer is a verb and retrait a noun, but wonder why the change to d’ after retrait? (rather than de l’argent, des espèces)
How do you know when to use égale vs égal?
Can you help me to understand when to use use y ane le/la to refer to something that has been talked about before, for example
1) Tu as vu ma message ?, tu y as répondu ?
2) Je pense d'aller à Paris, tu le penses ?
My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière. Should it not be accepted ?
Hello,
One question I have always been wondering is with the phrase "Comment vas-tu ?"
In this instance, would this be considered a formal or informal question? For example, would you use this phrase with friends? It seems conflicting that the use of "tu" would be formal in the inverse because the nature of "tu" from what I've understood to be quite formal. Could I get some clarification?
Thank you,
Eveline
