Bonjour , J'habite a' Toronto ! est-ce la bonne façon
It seems illogical that the French have chosen to say: « Que nous voulions » and « Que vous vouliez » (which are the same as l’imparfait) instead of « Que nous veuillons » and « Que vous veuillez » which IMO would fit in much better with the subjunctive theme.
How do l know when to use de in the sense of some although it isn't necessarily expressed in the English sentence eg je mange DE la confiture = l eat /am eating jam or perhaps peu d'élèves ?
In a previous lesson, J’allais + infinitive = was going to _ . This example that is captioned, is translated as ‘ I was enrolling at university’ instead of ‘I was going to enroll’.
I'homme qui vient est professeur (mon/ma/mes)
There is a plural and singular form of our here; "Notre" and "Nos". How is there a singular our if our is already plural?
"Vous alliez vous rejoindre…" Is this construction because the subject pronoun stays with the infinitive? Is something lost if you say "vous vous alliez rejoindre…"
Why is it not "doucemment" with a double "m"?
In the 'Fill-the-blanks' Kwiz 'Nos activites pendant les vacances', my answer: 'Les enfants essaieront la peche a pied avec un guide local' was marked wrong, with the correction provided of 'Les enfants essaierons ...' The correction Kwiziq shows is 1st person plural, but I thought that 'The kids will try shellfish gathering with a local guide' is 3rd person plural.
Au secours! Merci!
ceci ou cela Doesn't celui-ci ou celui-la mean the same thing, this or that ?
