In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?
HI everyone,
So to my understanding reading the previous answers to the questions unambiguously would mean both am and pm?
Also I know the two different ways to say the numbers in both 12 hour and 24hour but, and as I'm reading the responses it seems that past 6pm you would use like deux treize quatroze etc. Would I be correct and if it's past midnight would it be the same?
Thanks
Nicole
Ok, I should have heard the "la" but I didn't - and I put "le mi-août" because août is masculine. Is it, then, the case that if you use the prefix "mi-" the whole thing ( "mi-qqch") invariably becomes feminine?
…then I could have used the DONT? Thanks
How could you say "The girls I'm thinking of are amazing." ?
Les filles auxquels je pense sont géniales. Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales.Les filles à laquelle je pense sont géniales.Les filles dont je pense sont géniales.Les filles à quoi je pense sont géniales.Les filles auxquelles je pense sont géniales.
Hello, please advise why affreuse is in front of the noun. je souffre d'affreuses crampes
Thank you
Excusez moi madame? I do not know how to conjugate the verb Entre
In your lesson, you describe …aine as being ‘about’ or ‘or so’ and yet in the example you translate deux douzaine… as being ‘two dozen’. In UK English , a dozen is NORMALLY, exactly 12, but I acknowledge it CAN also have ‘or so’ connotations. Perhaps not the best example? Love the site for learning French by the way. Much better than well-known alternatives)
I am confused. I know Un is used with masculine nouns and Une is with feminine nouns. But when I looked at the examples of these two:
Un exemple
Une aventure
They both use the English An, but in French, both nouns are feminine, ending in E. So, why use the masculine form of Un with Exemple???
