I would have expected the perfect verb for s’ennuyer to be je me suis ennuyé, but the correction to my latest quiz suggests an extra accent as: énnuyé
This is actually confusing, as it seems the sentence might be incorrect. I keep wondering why it isn't Quelles chaussures ils/elles plaisent? Or Quelles chaussures tu plais?
Dear all,
In an exercise in a lesson I was doing on I came across the phrase “How were your holidays?” or “How did your holidays go”. I had to review the lessons on forming questions by inversion in the présent and passé composé with reflexive verbs, and based on what I found there, I decided that if the affirmative is “Elles se sont bien passées” / “Tes vacances sont bien passées”, the question would be “Comment se sont-elles passées?” (which I’m reasonably confident is correct - I hope...!) BUT if we want to use “the holidays” instead of “they”, when I follow the rule I write “Comment tes vacances se sont-elles passées” or “Comment se sont tes vacances passées? But my ear tells me this is wrong, and indeed when I look it up, the correct solution is “Comment se sont passées tes vacances?”. Which makes me wonder is there a rule that if we want to use the name of the thing in question, the subject, (instead of -ils / -elle / -elles / etc), the position changes and instead of being positioned after the auxiliary verb with a hyphen the subject goes to the end….????
I'm sure there are probably already Kwiziq lessons that would clarify this for me, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great...!
With Thanks,
Susan Wood.
How is this verb conjugated? There is a phrase in the vocabulary lesson sent out today that contains the phrase: Je regarde les bourgeons éclore...
This doesn't look like the normal conjugation for a -re verb. Please advise! Thank you.
I can't figure out when to use "ou non" or "ou pas" when using the que....expression. I'm wrong 50% of the time!
In translating "Before we moved to the city when I was 13," I used the past subjunctive, "Avant que nous n'ayons emménagé...". However, you used the present subjunctive, "n'emménagions". Why is that?
"Je vais au parc " was corrected to "je vais dans le parc" Why was the former response incorrect?
had a variation after the comparative that was not exampled in the lesson.
...celui de son frère.
...celle de ce restaurant.
Could the celui de, celle de, be omitted and express the exact same ideas?
Will the inclusion of these demonstrative pronouns and adjectives be part of a future lesson?
