I'm afraid they will be naughty.
(HINT: Conjugate "faire" in the Subjonctif présent)
The suggested correct answer is "fassent"; but why is it not "feront"? Surely, even in French, there is a difference in meaning between "I'm afraid they will be naughty" and "I'm afraid they are naughty"?
Hello there ! I've got a question about subjonctif, can we conjugate these verbes: {penser, croire, imaginer, espérer} on "futur proche ou future simple"?
I mean are they common?
Ex: Après le procès de la semaine prochaine, Julie croira que Margaret est innocente.
And also :Après le procès de la semaine prochaine,Julie ne croira pas que Margaret soit innocente.
I understand that one uses the present tense for the immediate future, but when does the future lose its 'immediate' character? I would think that tomorrow is NOT immediate, and would require the future tense!
C'était tout ce à quoi je m'intéressais.
Why à quoi? Why not auquel since it's s'intéresser à [qch] ?
Thank you!
Bonjour, je voudrais savoir si'il y a (il doit que) pour sobjonctif
J'ai vu cette exemple:
Il doit partir la semaine prochaine.
Est-ce qu'on peut dire aussi:
Il doit que nous partions la semaine prochaine.
Hello,
So, the demonstrative pronouns in French, if I'm not mistaken, are: celui, ceux, celle, celles
While in English, they're: this, these, that, those
But if I want to translate: That looks like the car I used to drive. in French, that's Cela ressemble à la voiture que je conduisais.
Why cela and not celle ?
So, when do you actually use the french demonstrative pronouns?
What to do if there is only a noun and not a pronoun.
Hello.
"Nostalgie" was corrected as "nostagie". It may be a typo?
The exercise gives " c'était la boulangerie de Madame Poitier." I tried "Il était...." because we're discussing a specific building. (The grammar lesson on c'est & il/elle est suggests using "il/elle" for specific things). Is there some wriggle room on this one or was I just plain wrong?
The lesson for "lire" shows an example of "the people read"= on lit
I think the example of the people elect the prime minister should be les gens elit??
