Bonjour, J'ai a entendu "cinquantaine", pas "cinquante". Ai-je raison ? - Allison
As far as I can tell from elsewhere, when année dernière is pluralized, as in "the last few years," and the translation involves those specific two words ("les quelques dernières années," "ces dernières années") the order here is also an exception, no?
In spoken French, do Conditionnel Passé and Le Futur Antérieur sound noticeable different? It seems like it would be confusing.
'I share my apartment with five people, including one girl.'
I realise the lesson is about 'dont', but could one use 'compris' or 'y compris' instead of dont? If so, which, and would compris need an e because the girl is feminine?
When would you use ressentir instead of se sentir?
I’ve seen this example a that doesn’t t follow the rule:. Elle pense à sa famille … Elle y pense
I’m interested to know how you’d say "this time last year" in French? In English, it emphasises that it’s an exact period ago, so more precise than "il y a un an".
In the context of this lesson is rien the negative version of quelque chose and personne the negative version of quelqu’un (ie nothing and no one) ?
Bonjour,
Above in the explanation, it is mentioned that l'imparfait has no clear beginning or end. But when I attempted the Fill-in-the-blanks Mon jour férié (Passé Composé vs Imparfait), there was a sentence - J’étais encore en pyjama vers 13h, (which is given as the correct answer). Whereas I had written, " J'ai encore été en pyjama vers 13h, and this answer was given as incorrect. But I don't understand, the end time is given here, (vers 13h). So why can't we select Passé composè?
Merci!
I believe this phrase is correct to express "I am 10 minutes late?": Je suis en retarde de dix minutes. I was marked wrong on a quiz. Thanks.
