Bien joué... always masculine even when talking to a woman????
Aujourd'hui je récolte beaucoup de citrouilles de me jardins. Presque trente en tout. Nous avons eu un peu de gel mais demains j'espère récolter le reste du maïs doux pour les geler. Je suis en accord. J'adore l'automne!!
I had this example. Why "Et toi, qui est-ce qu' as-tu rencontré?" is wrong? Can't we use qui est-ce que here?
Can someone clarify why is it that "elle m'a embrassé" is using avoir as the auxiliary and not être? By this logic, I don't understand why "Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur" is reflexive, as the direct object would be the sister?
Bonjour.
Désolé. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette phrase est incorrecte (it was marked as such in the results of the quiz):
Où est-ce que mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?Seems like we have the question word at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the inverted verb and then the subject, no?
Why do you use “je chantais” instead of “j’ai chanté” after “Hier, en allant au travail? You mention that this happened yesterday, so it is a completed action in the past.
I understand from the disucssion that you can use depuis with the present tense or passé composé but I have this question:
Depuis quand est-ce que vous êtes vous mariés ? ( a point in time in the past)
Asking a person who is married how long they've been married (and still are): Vous êtes vous mariés depuis 30 ans? (Past tense so does this mean they're no longer married?) or, should you say, Vous êtes mariés depuis 40 ans? (still married).
This always trips me up so thank you ahead of time for your help!
