This lesson shows the 2 as interchangeable, but are there situations where one more correct than the other? Why would anyone use the longer one if they're the same?
Cette lecture est tres vite pour moi. Pouvez-vous parlez plus lentement, s'il vous plait?
Can you explain the different use of punctuation after the greeting in the following two sentences?
Bonjour Laura, installez-vous, je vous prie.
Bonjour Monsieur Lambert ! Dès que j'ai découvert votre offre d'emploi, j'ai su qu'il s'agissait d'une opportunité à ne pas manquer.
Is it simply that the first sentence is shorter?
I also was confounded about this. Seeing that "bien entendu" usually means of "course", I also thought that parler should have been a participle, which would yield the translation "I had of course talked about this new position". But as I understand "bien entendu" in this case does not translate to "of course" and that "entendu" should be seen in conjuction with "parler" and not as part of the idiomatic expression "bien entendu". Do I make any sense?
My two brothers are good at languages, but neither is good at maths
Should this be "ni l'un ni l'autre n'est bon"? According to a french speaking friend (and Gemini) l'un and l'autre refer to each brother individually, so it should be singular.
Thanks
I can see it has already been explained in this Q&A forum that lui is never changed to l', which is good to know.
My question is, I have seen envoyer in a list of 'verbs without prepositions' on another section of this website. I took that to mean it does not require à after envoyer, is this correct?
Is it because une message is added that it does require an à and therefore it becomes je lui envoye rather than je l'envoye?
I'm not sure how I should know whether envoyer requires le/la/les vs lui/leur?
Bonjour! The only word in the word game is Espagnol(Spanish). Can you fix this? Merci!
On the quiz the question was: How would you say "I go shopping on Tuesdays" I selected Je fais les courses les mardis. It was marked incorrect with the correct answer being le mardi. Can you explain why Tuesdays wouldn't be les mardis?
C'est drôle. Je pensais que ce texte parlerait de jeux dans la neige ! Mais ils sont restés à la maison à regarder Netflix. 😉
