Hello Kwiziq team and learners.
l am just wandering why in the two following sentences the 'de' proposition is used differently?
Sentence 1 - Vous êtes un amateur de vin?
Sentence 2- Vous êtes un amoureux du vin?
I look forward to reading the reply :)
Tu ne vas pas au clup?
....., Je suis allé hier.
Is it correct to use (Si or Non)
After finishing exercise "Trip to Paris" I clicked the "All related grammar and vocab" link and was redirected here.
The title shows "Studylist for exercise %s"
Is it possible to use "garder [le] secret" ? English is not my native language, I'm russian.
I am confused. Sometimes Ayez is used sometimes Ayons is used.
For example "Ayez confiance mes amis" I was corrected from Ayons
But here is one example Ayons foi en notre force .
Is there a rule or we just have to know, like vocabulary
How do we know which form of adverb has to be used...the one ending in '...ment' or the regular form?
- Marie chante le plus fortement. V/S Marie chante le plus fort.
- Jeanne parle le plus doucement. VS Jeanne parle le plus doux.
- Il conduit le plus lentement. V/S Il conduit le plus lent.
How do we know which form of adverb to use in such situations?
The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.
Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?
I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').
Why is this jusque and not jusqu'à?
