In the phrase "Elle attire ainsi une société aisée qui construit….." why are attirer and construire conjugated in the present? (The translation confirms that they are, as we would expect, in the past.)
When and how do we know when to place the word in a sentence ,it's so confusing
For the phrase 'It will be epic!', can we also say 'Ça sera épique!' or can we only use 'Ça va être épique!'? Merci!
Bonjour Madame,
In the sentence from the lesson "Il jouait au football quand il était petit." Should the translation not be as-
"He used to play football when he was young."(in place of played)
Please explain the reason.
Merci d'avance
the statement was just je....... rentre, as there was nothing(chez,dansetc) after rentre i used avoir but it was wrong, so why is there sometimes nothing after rentrer when used with etre?please
Why is the answer not: Georges cherche pour son neuf stylo?
There is no suggestion that the new pen has been used before. If it had, it would be (masc/sing) nouveau - the answer given as correct.
Can you please explain why the answer is nouveau.
Bonjour
In the fill in the blanks exercise working futur proche
1. je vais retrouver Julien et Sophie dans le centre-ville.
Why is: je vais rencontrer incorrect?
2. When I read in English will be I wrote sera. I should have known better because what is being tested is futur proche and va etre should have been my response; but I would like to know if it could be considered correct, understandable, from a native speakers standpoint.
Merci
Hello...for the future with reflexive verbs, can we say - tu vas te faire couper les cheveux, nous allons nous faire faire les ongles etc?
How about:
Tu te feras couper les cheveux...? You are will have your hair cut....? Does that work?
Merci beaucoup!
"Quels/Quelles sont les danseuses engagées?"
I answered "Quels" as it was unclear if the dancers were male/female or both. I was marked incorrect. Was that because of an incorrect assumption on my part ( that all dancers are female) or was there another reason?
thanks for your guidance,
Elizabeth
