Hi,
I'm wondering why we would say 'on a dégusté des spécialités lyonnaises' rather than 'on dégustait des spécialités lyonnaises'. I thought that we would use the imperfect in this case as it happened over an extended period of time?
J'ai visité Versailles dimanche dernier.
Why is it not: le dimanche dernier?
Hi there, the last example in the video is:
Je donne une pomme à Paul.
Would the replacement with lui be:
Je lui donne une pomme
What if I wanted to replace the une pomme with la, what would the word order be?
Merci!
would translate as: mes mains were not stopping trembling. I get very confused over this particular usage. Most of the use of imparfait that I get wrong are due to this rule. Could you explain it better?
This lesson is a bit confusing to me. The grammar rule is stated very clearly but then the examples are confusing. Just a suggestion but I think to make this lesson less confusing perhaps there could be more explanation of the examples. Also reading the English translation makes it seem like the what is the subject but then the french translation seems like the what is the complement of the verb. Then, the example that confused me the most in this lesson was one of the quiz questions.
so I used the p.c.
It was marked incorrect, but doesn’t it fit the sentence better? It said that it should have been “Pendant qu’il va se préparer avec toi....”.
Thanks!
Is it right to say both
Je part de la maison
Je sors de la maison
