I've been told that you should use "dans" when there is a roof, and "sur" when there isn't. So "on the bus/plane" is "dans l'autobus/avion" and "in the fields" is "sur les champs". Is this a good general rule?
Are there different contexts where one can use "veut" instead of the "avoir envie de"?
For instance, why can't i say "je veut le chocolat"? When do i get to say "j'ai envie du chocolat"?
Is the pronunciation of "nombreuses années" in the first example correct? To my ear it sounds odd to emphasize the "es" when making the liaison.
Why do you need to put "l" before on" in this question?
Why can't the sentence read "Il est important q'on agisse de façon?"
Quand je fais les dictées en classe, le prof indique toujours les marques de ponctuation. Donc, je suis énervé quand on ne le dit pas. Est-ce que c'est normal de les indiquer, ou non?
I result I got was 'je ne sais pas dans quelle direction tourner'. However, the Kwizig translation is 'je ne sais plus où donner de la tête' in the excercise! I'm confused? Bobbie L
Hi,
The word game is not really very helpful to revise the words. Can you add simple tests that evaluate from English to French and French to English? Always with the articles of course 😊.
Thanks
Isn't saying 'Comment vous vous appelez' the same as saying 'what is you your name'
Or is there something I didn't get?
It seems illogical that the French have chosen to say: « Que nous voulions » and « Que vous vouliez » (which are the same as l’imparfait) instead of « Que nous veuillons » and « Que vous veuillez » which IMO would fit in much better with the subjunctive theme.
