Ordering multiple stress pronouns (other than moi)In the test, I was marked wrong on this question.
________ devez prendre une décision.
You and she need to make a decision.
☑️ Toi et elle
❌ Elle et toi
Elle et toi was marked incorrect, while Toi et elle was considered the correct answer.
However, according to the lesson, the only rule pertaining to the order of multiple stressed pronouns in the subject is that if moi is among them then it must be last. It uses Toi et moi as the example, but the text says moi should be last, not that toi should be first.
Am I overlooking something obvious, or is there a secret rule? I can’t believe that I am the first to encounter this, but I don’t see this exact issue discussed in the Q&A.
Thank you for clarifying,
Dusty
to have butterflies, avoir l'estomac noué ? From WordReference
Don't get me started, Ne me lance pas là-dessus ?
You must have freaked out, Tu as dû piquer une crise ? From WordReference
Finally, could I use gâcher instead of gaspiller in this context ?
Where does it go in a sentence with a compound verb when one is reflexive? Je vaism’en passer de pain????
Bonjour,
I am missing the distinction in the use of savoir vs connaitre with facts. A good example is "to know a recipe".
It seems to have it memorized would use savoir, but to know of the recipe would be connaitre. But, from reading the lesson, it seems connaitre would be used in both instances.
Please help!
Thank you
Quand quelqu’un parle d’une groupe de laquelle il fait partie, est-qu’il est nécessaire incluir le “nous”? Par exemple, peut-on dire:
«Les Américains avons l’habitude de prendre du café les matins.»
Hello, I am a little bit confused on the use of à and the pronouns (me, te, nous, vous). Why is it “je tiens à toi” and not “je te tiens” (I am trying to say I care about you). thank you.
For “competition” I used the word concours instead of compétition; is there any problem with that?
I found this exercise really difficult but the C1 dictées seem easy as we are given so much help in the form of vocabulary and expressions.
Would it be possible for us to be given expressions or difficult constructions before we start the exercise? I felt so disheartened after this translation!
- Is s'il vous plaît used with veuillez not redundant? (I wrote Veuillez vous asseoir and the "correct" response was given back to me as Veuillez vous asseoir, s'il vous plaît.)
- The text uses "les médicaments" rather than the singular; would that always be the case or is that just an interpretation of the English sentence? I.e., it could either be a mass noun or a single, specific drug.
Referring to Les Filles. "Nous sommes allées en France l'année dernière.
But - Les trois filles sont sorties'
Why isn't it 'sortiees'?
