For the term, change of scenery, the exercise used, "le dépaysement" with un changement de décor used as alternative. I was wondering just what the distinction or nuance in the 2 terms is. Please explain when you would use one over the other. Thanks.
Why is it "je suis nouveau ici" instead of "je suis nouvel ici"? I thought it was nouvel before a vowel.
I'm pretty sure that the quiz got the question on "vert" wrong. Could you please check that out?
Hi,
In the example of “Toutes les fins de semaine, nous allons nager.”, was toutes les agreeing with fins de semaine (feminine phrase), or with nous (a group of female swimmers)?
Thank you for clarifying!
Why is the reflexive form being used here?
Paul
Quand elle sera grandie, elle voyagera beaucoup.
Is this sentence right?
I feel the following is right. Please clarify anyone.
Quand elle aura grandi, elle voyagera beaucoup.
I am having problems putting this paragraph in context.. seems very isolated and not clearly explained.
Where in English, you'd use of (She reminds me of Paula), there will be no preposition in French (Elle me rappelle de Paula)
Hi. I am trying to figure out why this uses the passe compose if followed by 'que'.
Les fleurs que j'ai senties étaient belles.
Would you not be able to use "que j'aie senties" instead of "que j'ai senties", because I remember seeing that when there is "que" we use subjonctif. I do notice this seems to be past tense which is why I ask if the Subjonctif Passe can be used. I am unsure if I have worded my question well, in that you may understand. I appreciate any help provided.
Nous étions tous chocolat
Is this an idiomatic expression? It's not clear to me what this means. It seems that Julien forgot to buy the chocolate eggs, so does this expression mean that they had no chocolate? I've looked it up in dictionaries and online translators, but nothing comes up!
I didn't understand one of the hints in this exercise: "Iklnk"(I think)
