Merci
A male sheep is called a ram in English and I thought a male sheep in French was a bélier? Is it that people in France call male sheep "mouton"?
Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...
L'adjectif "long" précède normalement le nom et si j'ai "a big white house", c'est une grande maison blanche, n'est-ce pas? Pourquoi dans le cas des cheveux sont-ils "les cheveux longs et raides" et pas "les longs cheveux raides"? Merci.
So - how would you say - "That shirt suits you well, but it doesn't fit you"
Yes, I know there are other ways to express this eg. "It suits you but you need to find a smaller size". But I'm specifically looking for how the two are differentiated using 'aller a'.
TIA
Hi where can get some exercises on this. Also is there a lesson on it? I searched but didn't find any
I'm curious about why there's always a question about coudre, moudre and hair in the C1 tests. I understand that they're irregular and need to be learnt, but the questions are always in the present tense, and it seems pretty straightforward for C1. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to make them e.g. A2, and include a wider range of irregular verbs? I feel there are other questions that would be more appropriate and useful for C1.
Not complaining :-), just curious.
Regardez les phrases suivante: Elle est à l'origin du groupe, et elle écrit la majorité des chansons. J'adore sa voix. Ce semble que "sa" dans ce dernière phrase réfère à Chantal Lauby, pas Jennifer. N'est-ce pas?
This is clearly C1 level listening. Too hard
If would have + movement verb uses Être, would this apply to should have and could have versions of the same sentence? Or do they continue to use avoir + dû/pu ?
