What is the difference between the two? I tried to use donc il pose des questions but the answer was alors.
Why is, Ces chaussures, je les ai voulu immédiatement not listed as choice. The past particle of vouloir is voulu. Thanks for your help.
Why the use of the subjunctive in "un avenir qui nous plaise"?
Le mot "printannière" n'est pas "printanière"?
I thought so too, only to see the correction suggesting that i should have written that he "goes to go to bed"!
I understand now that:
In French there is no “like” as in English. Something doesn’t smell like chocolate, it just “smells chocolate”.
So, you would say: Ça sent le chocolat
But how would you say "Who smells chocolate?"
Qui sent le chocolat ?
Whereas Qu'est-ce qui sent le chocolat is the longer way of saying "What smells like chocolate"
Is this correct?
Or would you have to say something like: qui peut sentir le chocolat ?
Can be confusing but I'll keep trying
E.g. why not say Oui maman, il est sur la plage derrière ?
Merci!
What do you do in the case of "il faut que" such as "Il faut que j'aille faire les courses." On second reference, you wouldn't say, "il le faut?" Could you say "" Il faut que j'y aille" or "Je le dois?" Or, does this "le" rule not apply to Il faut que? Scrambled here!:)
I conjugated Elles font and was told that Elles fait is correct. I don't think think that is true. Could you please examine that question and explain the answer to me?
