hello,
I'd like to know whether the past participle agrees with the following pronouns me, te ,nous, vous? what happens in this case? Please give examples.
Thank you.
Trupti.
Wish we could delete these rather than having to leave a '.' in the submission or otherwise fill the space, like this!
The last sentence again: and by midday, we were able to go outside......
was translated as: et avant midi, nous avons pu sortir......
Doesn't 'avant midi' mean before noon? I put d'ici midi and was marked incorrect.
Is either option acceptable for this exercise?
Last sentence - Why géante and not géantes?
"and little by little, I became very small"--Why is passe' compose' used here? It seems an event with absolutely no clear beginning or end.
Official French documents I have had to complete - eg long stay visa applications etc use < nom > for surname; it should be accepted on its own, not just as < nom de famille >. Knowing that when asked for < votre nom > in France, the correct response is your surname rather than first name, is one of the little differences encountered quite regularly. Although official documents do use < état civil >, both < situation familiale > and < situation de famille > are also used in general conversations and enquiries of marriage/domestic arrangements.
I have tried to figure out why some words in the example sentences are in bold and some are underlined, but I don't get it and I can't find it in FAQ or anything.
