Hi, shouldn't it be
sur un fond vert, pas font vert, ou peut-être qu'on se cache dans une église :-)
Merci
Interesting. So why are there examples given wherein both actions take place in the future? Such as:
Après avoir fini ma dissertation, je commencerai mes révisions.After finishing my essay, I will start studying for my exam.
Bonjour. I notice that the 's' of moins is not pronounced even though a vowel follows. Is this just a rule, that you don't 'faire la liaison' with the word 'moins'?
Hello,
Please can someone help me to understand how to conjugate verbs.
Thanks.
Is it 'des' because the reference is to some brown hair? I thought it always had to be: les cheveux !
Also, DES lèvres fines , but DE dents blanches! Cecile's response below indicates that "de" = of, while the 'des' related to thin lips means some? Would really appreciate clarification.
Following an answer in a recent quiz I took, an apparently acceptable way to say I remember Quebec is "Je me rappelle le Québec."
The rules of how and why this is acceptable are not explained in this lesson, and it doesn't conform to what I've learnt elsewhere. For example, the definite article is left out when expressing like/dislike of cities: "J'aime Paris et Londres."
When and why is it acceptable to use the definite article (rather than de) immediately following "se rappeler"?
As an alternative to "sans rien", could you use tout seul? Merci!
Hi - Could someone explain to me why the line "he told me that he needed a new raincoat" is translated into French without the adjective "new"? (..il m'a dit qu'il avait besoin d'un imperméable). Thanks.
Please could we have the facility to click on an English translation for the phrases in the dictation text?
