I’ve no idea what a determinant or partitive article is - could you please extend the list of examples beyond ‘un/une/le/la...’ as this topic is really confusing.
"Navré, grommela-t-il au vieil homme minuscule qu'il avait manqué de faire tomber."
Online translator says: "Sorry," he mumbled to the tiny old man whom he had nearly knocked over."
How is "manqué de" being used here?
Et toi, comment vas-tu?-I think this is how the correct version is
And you, how are you?
Given the hint, why was "ont ete" the correct answer? (I cannot add accent symbols on these pages)
^ont été
se sont
9 Les petits enfants ________ fatigués par le voyage.
The little children were tired by the journey.(HINT: Conjugate ''être'' in the compound past (Passé Composé))
Bonjour, Ma saison préférée est l'hiver. Je viens d'Inde où il fait toujours chaud. L'hiver canadien est très beau avec son fond blanc. Je ne dérange pas le froid et je l'appricie même. Et la neige , c'est le meilleur moment. Je viens d'apprendre à patiner et j'ai passé mon hiver dernier dans la patinoire.
Merci beaucoup pour cet exercise. Bonne journée et bonne soirée ( où que vous soyez!).
Bonjour!
Can we reframe this sentence as "Je ne connais pas personne en dehors de mon petit cercle d'amis."?
Merci
usage of se passer seems pure examples of pronominal usage and not reflexivity. seems important given the strict pronominal vs. reflexive discussions found elsewhere in course. non ?
So will "tous les campings n'acceptent pas les chiens" be generally understood as "not all campsites accept dogs" rather than "all campsites don't accept dogs"? This is surprising to an English speaker!
Why are dashes included in transcriptions and why does Kwizbot detect the omission as being incorrect ? For example: I wrote "Et moi, je m'appelle Amina et je suis algérienne". Kwizbot detected my sentence as incorrect because it was missing the preceding dash: "- Et moi, ....". Of course, I gave myself 5 stars, but it's quite annoying to not receive a match in these cases. I hope this question makes sense.
