How do I say there will be sun tomorrow?
We use extra e for féminin elle in passé composé. Why not in Présent tense.
elle s'est réveillée. (Passé composé)il/elle se réveille (Présent)
I am confused. Please help me out.
This should read:
....of which you're a part of.
/I think this sounds better, correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks
Salut! Would “trop” be accepted instead of “si” in the sentences. I used it in both the sentences in the passage but they were corrected to “si”. Is there a difference? Thank you
C'est vraiment une sujet utile et m'a aidé à déveloper mon écoute, merci à vous. Mais j'ai une question, est-ce que je peux télécharger le podcast? Si oui, comment je peux le faire?
Why is the passé composé used here: "Depuis que je t'ai rencontré.." when the rule says you use "depuis que + l'indicatif" --very confusing and frustrating without an explanation.
Vous l'avez rencontre a une soiree - you met him at a party
Vous les avez rencontre a une soiree - you met them at a party
Il nous a rencontre a une soiree - he met us at a party
But the moment you talk about yourselves it becomes a reflexive verb, rather than just a special case of the pronoun matching the verb case?
Nous nous sommes rencontres a une soiree - we met (each other) at a party
The translation -' you went back to your childhood house' is not something we would say in english english. We would either say 'childhood home' or ' the house I lived in in my childhood'. I'm trying to work out why this is and it has something to do with the word childhood as an abstract noun. Childhood is never an adjective. ' Childhood home' is a kind of double noun, an inversion of 'home of my childhood' . I'm afraid I'm not a linguist so dont have the grammar to describe this. I just know it sounds very odd, and feels wrong.
