If I point to a tarte (little cake), which is a feminine word, and say “It’s me who made this” (not the most elegant phrase, but bear with me), should I say “C'est moi qui l'ai fait” or “C'est moi qui l'ai faite”?
I’m trying to tease out whether the “past participle agreement with direct object when before the verb” rule applies even if the feminine object has not been *linguistically* referenced (only referenced, visually, or implicitly in some other way).
In Part 3 : La seule chose qu'elle nous a laissé faire, ce sont les carreaux, here "les carreaux" has been translated as "the windows" and I think that may be an error. Or are they a particular type of window that she had in her room that she didn't know how to clean?
In the last sentence, the correct response uses "fait de". Why isn't "rend" acceptable? Is it because rendre is strictly = make something + adjective, not make something into something else + adjective?
Salut.
Il y a une différence entre écablousser et patauger?
Salut ! C'est quoi la différence entre ces deux mots, "une liasse" et "un paquet" ? Is "une liasse" used for stacks of papers?
Thanks.
I am struggling to understand when to use c’est rather than il/elle est despite having read through the suggested lesson. Can someone please help?
In the phrase 'une sensation de liberté telle qu'elle n'en avait jamais ressenti' why is ressenti not feminine ?
(Also, does the 'en' stand for anything grammatical or is it idiomatic?)
Bonjour,
I like to retake tests at lower levels often (A0, A1) in order to practice those lessons while I continue to advance/learn at higher levels (A2). My studyplan won't revert to A2 lessons after testing at lower levels. How do I reprogram it to suggest new grammar lessons after I've been practicing old material?
Merci, Alec
In the quiz question
Mon frère, ________ la femme est prof, est architecte.
I originally put 'dont', then second-guessed myself and wrote 'de qui'. I was marked wrong. But in the lesson it states that de qui is also correct, just much less common.
So shouldn't it also be accepted as an answer?
