It really sounds like 'Telle conversation passionnante' rather than 'quelle'. Am I mis-hearing it ?
Je donne les correct réponses mais l’ordinateur ne les accepte pas. C’est une problème ici.
Why wasn't my answer Ou est correct for where is?
In "la surprise n'en sera que plus grande" why "n'en sera que" rather than "ne sera que"? The lesson says en can replace the preceding de+phrase but I cannot see de+phrase.
Hi. I understand that one could say "Je donne les requins à Anne" (i.e. "I am giving the sharks to Anne...imagine that Anne is a marine biologist) or "Je les donne à Anne" (i.e. I am giving them to Anne) or Je les lui donne" (i.e. I am giving them to her). However, how would one say "I am giving Anne to the sharks" (imagine that Anne has upset the local mafia) using a double pronoun (i.e. "I am giving her to them"? Presumably, one cannot say "Je lui les donne" (because it would violate the rules on the order of pronouns)? What about "Je y lui donne"? Any help gratefully received.
Sorry for a rather niche question, it may be a situation that doesn’t often arise, but I’m wondering where the COD and COI pronouns go in a sentence with subject-verb inversion? (I found a reference to y and en)
In translating the second sentence, "Of course Aline. In 1983, we witnessed Yannick Noah's triumph on live TV...", there is no mention of Roland Garros. I believe that a hint would have been in order.
I thought this was "je recommanderais" - "which I would recommend" - rather than "which I will recommend".
Two questions:
1) In this context, would the French always say "I will recommend" rather than " I would recommend"?
2) If not, is there any way of detecting the difference, aurally, between first person in the future and in the conditional ?
I don't understand the difference between Je viens a + ville and Je viens de + ville
