C'est drôle. Je pensais que ce texte parlerait de jeux dans la neige ! Mais ils sont restés à la maison à regarder Netflix. 😉
It seems as though "Elle s'est fait jeter en prison", or "Ils se sont fait raser la barbe", in each case with "fait" invariant, are acceptable. Am I right, and, if so, is there a logic behind the invariance?
Please, could someone explain why the following is given as a correct option? I understand that relative pronouns agree in gender and number:
Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales.
Je viens de comprendre le système "dre" bien que je voie qu'il n'y a aucune différence entre "re" et "dre".
Il est possible qu'il y ait qqc d'importante qui me manque entre les deux conjugations.
Merci à tous!
There are two long phrases in this paragraph
1 Le yoga………les “pranayamas “ en Sanskrit, qui apprennent …………, ce qui à son tour ……………
2 En outre, le yoga offre de nombreux styles…………qui varient………….., ce qui le rend………………In both there is no doubt as what is being referred to, so why is the first qui and the second ce qui and not qui in both situations?
Bonjour. I am a bit confused as to why Marie devait m’accompagner is ok but “Aimerais-tu m’accompagner ?” is not. Is it just that one wouldn’t say that in spoken French or just plain wrong. Thanks
The explanation of this concept has bothered me for a long time as the very first person/object is ignored and the lesson deals basically with the structure after ‘rappeler’ but what about the Il in Il rappelle son mari à Alice? It would be helpful to say He reminds Alice of her husband. Three persons are involved here the person who does the reminding, Alice and her husband.
Hello there,
I just finished the test with everything but 2 sentences correct. However, because my keyboard is not french, it registered as every one of them wrong. I think there should be something done about that.
I am doing the writing exercise "A busy weekend" and I don't understand why my answer isn't considered a possible answer.
Are you going to go out?

Here's the hintI don't mark myself down for punctuation, but of course I still want to get it right. And I have a terrible tendency to use capital letters for roads etc the english way - i.e. "Rue de Quelque chose", "Place Quelque Chose" only to find that it should be "rue de Quelque Chose", "place Quelque chose" etc.
So I was expecting "le château de Versailles". Mais non !
Is there any logic in this, or is it basically something that a native speaker just knows intuitively ?
