I could not understand the phrase "un bon pour les cheveux shampooing" so could not put words in right order.
Is it not necessary to have a verb to accompany the adjective for l'autre ?
In a question it was used : "Ils sont différents: l'un est petit et l'autre est grand."
In the example it wasn't :Tom et Maxime sont très différents: l'un est calme et l'autre ( ) hyperactif.
Is there a distinction?
Hi! How do I know when to use au vs. à when it precedes a possessive adjective? For example:
Je vais à/au ma voiture
Bienvenue à/au mon musée
Does it depend on the gender of the object? Thanks!!!
Bonjour,
Can I ask why the adjective in Maurice est un professeur excellent comes after the noun, while Vous êtes un mauvais avocat comes before? Maurice est un professeur excellent doesn't fall within the 5 categories listed in this lesson- Adjectives usually go AFTER nouns in French (Position of Adjectives)
Merci!
Salut,
J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi faut utiliser le passé composé dans cette phrase:
On a été extrêmement impressionnés par la profondeur des galeries : on a du mal à comprendre ce que représentent six millions de corps !
Merci beaucoup :)
J'ai envie d'une nouvelle voiture" means: select ... I need a new car... envy his new car.. want a new car.. they want “I want a new car”..
shouldn’t it be “I would like”?.. would not I want be je veux?
This is translate by “doing scuba” and “deep dive” whereas there is no differences or word placed for “deep”. How’s that?
Faire de la plongée sous-marineTo go deep-sea diving / to deep-sea diveWhat about "Nous, Ils/elles, they aren't used with this verb?
“a dit Maman d'un ton admiratif en le voyant”
This seems such a strangely constructed sentence! Can anyone break it down?
(i) “admiratif” is an adjective (I think) but the possessive “ton” treats it like a noun.
(ii) “voyant” seems to be used as a present participle here (“the seeing”), but I’ve only seen these preceded by “en” before.
