Jean-Luc court-il tous les matins - C'est la bonne réponseJean-Luc court-ils tous les matins -C'est me réponse
I'm a French teacher of 30+ years. There isn't a huge difference between j'aime bien and j'aime beaucoup, but the textbooks teach that aimer bien = to really like and aimer beaucoup = to like a lot.
OK, after ten minutes of work I *think* I finally found the answer in 2b (it might have been 2a — I can’t look while typing this) of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
My question was how to decide between ce and elle. I *think* the answer is that this is a general statement of opinion. It would be nice if the first answer marked with the green checkmark as a correct answer were the one that contains a link to the lesson/article including this information. Actually it would be nice if that answer contained links to the other related articles as well.
Note that the first answer marked with the green checkmark is NOT correct. More accurately, it is ONLY correct if one encounters this question in the context of a lesson. When one encounters the question as part of a « Test Now » set of ten questions for level A1 (as I did, of course) there is no lesson context to tell you to use ce instead of ça. That wasn’t my problem, but it was not helpful to encounter that « correct answer » while trying to solve my issue.
Not sure who to ask this question, or if it is the wrong box.
How is that I can read French, paper, books etc, but have problems with speaking and writing the language.
I really would like an answer as my feedback is not really helpful
Bonjour,
Was wondering about the word frais since it means fresh. I thought that fresh fruit would be similar to saying l'enfant est frais. Or would I be wrong in my following examples.
Le fruit est frais
The fruit is fresh
L'enfant est frais
Can I also say
Le frais Enfant
The fresh kid
Thanks
Nicole
Quelle chanson sucrée! :)
Nous mangeons du poulet.
Nous prenons un peu de poulet.
The first sentence is "de + le poulet" but the second is "de poulet". Is this because of the "un peu" modifier? What's the rule?
I know that with living beings we have the choice between "à qui" vs. "auquel/à laquelle/auxquels/àuxquelles". Is there any nuance in terms of formality or elegance between the use these two options?
I'm wondering why the colors do not agree with 'La jupe'. I would have thought it would be 'bleue, blanche et rouge'. Is 'bleu, blanc et rouge' invariable?
Je n'aurais pensé que l'aurais si facilement. Should je n'aurais pensé trigger the subjunctive?
