J'ai appris beaucoup de cet exercise. Pourquoi il n'y a pas le mot "pas" dans la phrase .....qu'ils ne soient nés en captivité...? Merci.
Hi, I saw a dialogue in tv series Better Call Saul. It was "I am not telling you anything until we talk about my dad " and French translation is "Je ne te dirai rien tant qu'on n'aura pas parlé de mon père.. What I want to ask is why "parlé" is used instead of "parler", why passé composé form is used in this sentence after future tense of avoir.
Thank you.
It kept cutting at various parts for me. I had to replace portions of the audio over and over again in order to hear the entire portion. For example, for the first sentence I would almost never hear "Au Luxembourg" so I was confused by the hint. Sometimes I only heard the very last word out of the entire sentence
Hi. Easy but frustrating question. Why is the sentence “C’est Francois Hollande” and not “Il est Francois Hollande”. In a class and being told the former. But when I state “Il est Paul Martin”, that’s correct. Merci!
If s'inscrire (to register oneself) uses être as it's a reflexive verb, then why do we say "Le mois dernier, nous avons inscrit Thomas au judo" and not "Le mois dernier, nous sommes inscrits Thomas au judo" ?
Why is it essaye de when all the other verbs aren't followed by de? Also, why not essaie?
so would Tu la joues be wrong or just another way to say the same thing?
I have read the answers above but it is still not clear to me whether there is any difference in meaning between bien que and même si (regardless of the tense following). Thank you.
I put the first as my answer to the question but was flip flopping between the two in the text box. Is the reason I got it wrong because there is no context to use "lui?" is there a context where "lui" would be correct?
thanks!
In the last sentence, "Bien que la nature soit l'élément principal dans mes projets artistiques, mon but est d'amener les gens à faire une pause, à réfléchir et à ressentir des émotions à travers mon travail.", the verbs amener à and inciter à were accepted for ”to get”. I tried persuader de, which was not accepted. Should it be a possibility ?
