Et toi, comment vas-tu?-I think this is how the correct version is
And you, how are you?
I have quizzed this question 3 times. The first time I chose 'sa'. I was given 'son' as correct. The next time I chose 'son'. I was given 'sa' as correct. The 3rd time I wrote 'sa' but apparently should have written 'son'. What's going on here?
When to use ‘je me sens’ and when ‘je sens’! The question was "Je ne sens rien." can mean?: and one correct answer was 'I don’t feel anything'. I thought that was incorrect as ‘me’ was needed for ‘feel' , but seemingly not, so when is it? Couldf someone explain please?
I am struggling to see why you have suggested one can use i or y but when I use the y in the answer of the verb, it is wrong.
Salut, ca sera utile d'avoir plus de questions dans le mini-test au bout de la page. En ce moment il y en a deux - mais le lecon s'agit? de plusiers facons d'utiliser rappeler. Rappeler - c'est un casse tete. Desolée - pas de clavier francais.
The Cambridge dictionary of English defines "ecology" as: the relationship of living things to their environment and to each other, or the scientific study of this.
In English you cannot have a "victory for ecology" - ecology is either an ecosystem or an academic discipline. So does the French word "écologie" have a wider meaning, or is it being used rather loosely here? Apologies for pedantry.
Edit: also: "[the NGO] which works to protect the marine environment and species" is translated as "[l’ONG] qui travaille à la protection de l’environnement et des espèces marines". I couldn’t see how to apply one adjective to two nouns of different gender without radically altering the sentence structure, but the French answer seems to apply it only to the species?
How do you say he acted like a king? Il a agi en roi or il a agi comme roi?
So, _____ + je = nous. If we are part of the group or speaking informally, could we use 'on' with the he/she/it conjugation instead?
I just heard someone in the show "Lupin" say what sounded like "merce" instead of "merci". Is "merce" an actual truncated form (like "ta" in English), or did the actor / character just trail off at the end of the word because she was distracted ? (It's the cop who's just taken Lupin into custody, & is transporting him by car, & she's talking with a petrol station attendant.)
Also, how common, & how slangy is "cimer" ?
In the example: "I always liked you." You give the answer: Vous m'avez toujours plu.
I think it should be: Je vous avez toujours plu.
I know that the verb "manquer" uses a strange inversion of the subject and object, but I don't think that applies to "plaire". Does it??
