Isn’t there a way to imply each/every another way?: je mange une pomme le matin, ou je me promène le soir.
Bonjour, j'ai un doute
Mon père travaille dans un bureau
Négation: Mon père ne travaille pas dans de bureau
La négation est correcte?
Merci en avance
I tend to get tangled up with possessive "de" but wanted to query why the two capitalised nouns above take de l’ rather than d’? The dog is best friend of "Man" not "a man", and capitalising both nouns implies to me a generalisation or personification: despite that, they don’t seem to be treated as proper nouns in French.
The clue on the 2nd last screen is ' it = general statement ' but there is no 'it' in the sentence being translated, just 'I find that topic really interesting.'
The clue is misleading given the answers suggested, not unexpectedly, use ' ce sujet ' or ' ce thème ' .
On the following screen "I am going to buy it straight away. " In this case 'it' refers to a specific novel, so 'general statement' is not correct either.
I don't think the clue is helpful or necessary on either screen.
Why is l'imparfait used here instead of le passé composé?
« Si le problème se révélait être plus grave... »
Also, is it correct to say "des tiges métalliques" here?
« ...avec des barres métalliques. »
"Faisant le mur" ... une métaphore intéressante!
Seems like we're putting the verb before the subject. Why not "les panneaux produiraient"?
The "c'est" audio really really sounds it begins with "F"!
Also the method you have chosen to overwrite/highlight the mistakes in the users submission makes it really difficult to see the mistakes! I think it would be better move the comparison from behind the tooltip and just display it on the page, and use underlines, insertion of missing letters etc. with a different colour, this will make it easier to read and compare.
and when do you use malgre lui
