Hi, so i'm reading exercises du style and there´s the following phrase: l'autobus est arrivé. Alors j'ai monté dedans. Wouldn't the être variant be appropriate here?
Why is "it" in this sentence "la" instead of "le:" Tu ne la lui écris pas.
I was asked to write "she's going to hurt him" and I answered "Elle va faire mal a lui" (accent on a). This was scored incorrect, with a proper answer of "Elle va lui faire du mal". Given that there was no way for me to know whether whe was going to hurt him physically or emotionally, I believe my answer was correct. If not, why?
This may have been touched on already:
Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !
…is cited as an example of when it’s not appropriate to use the subjunctive.. Fair enough, but why is it also included amongst those examples that do use the subjunctive? Is that an error or am I missing something?
I notice that all of the examples here have cues in them to indicate repetitive action. What if the sentence does not contain such cues? Should it be interpreted as continuous action or repetitive action?
e.g. Je faisais du sport.
Without any cues would that mean “I was playing sports” or “I used to play sports” or is it equally ambiguous?
when tested on a multiple quiz the selections were 'Moi et toi avons compris la même chose.' or Toi et moi avons compris la même chose.' I chose Moi et toi and was incorrect.
Bonjour,
J'ai deux questions sur la dernière phrase "Je préfèrerais de loin faire appel à un professionnel, et s'il pouvait être aussi..."
1. Le deuxième e de préférerais ne devrait-il pas être un é à la place de è ?
2. J'entends "et s'il était aussi...", mais selon le texte, la bonne réponse est "et s'il pouvait être aussi..." Est-ce que c'est une erreur ?
Merci !
Can I use "avec aucun d'entre eux"
For example
I refused to share the money with any of them. J'ai refusé de partager l'argent avec aucun d'entre eux.
