Why in "tu" form the conjugation changes "Regarde-lui", but not "Regardes-lui"?
Whereas in "nous" the ending is the same "Arretons-lui"
Hello,
I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.
This question has been asked in one of the tests where there was a blank given for "de" and expected to be filled with an article contracté. Is "de" indeed an article contracté here? I'm doubtful.
Could someone explain the rule for describing who someone is; i.e. why does 'she is my wife' translate as c'est ma femme? - "it is my wife'!
Thanks.
In the above question, the answer in the test shows “lui” but shouldn’t it be l’ since the verb starts with vowel?
I gave elle s’assoit avec son fils but this was corrected to elle s’assois which isn’t the 3rd person .
What is the 1st conjugation for?
What is the rule for the order of compound stressed pronouns? I read the Q&A but couldn't find an answer; I have seen lists for the proper order of all the other pronouns, but I have found no list for the order of compound stressed pronouns when they are used as subjects.
Hi Aurélie
I was doing an exercise which has this question:
La valise qu'il ( est descendue, a descendue, a descendu) du grenier hier est neuve.
What will be the correct answer? As my understanding says intransitive verbs take être as auxillary but the answer given is a descendue ( why the accord?)
