In Part 3 : La seule chose qu'elle nous a laissé faire, ce sont les carreaux, here "les carreaux" has been translated as "the windows" and I think that may be an error. Or are they a particular type of window that she had in her room that she didn't know how to clean?
Did a quiz, apparently answered wrong, and am now very confused.
The question: Elle ________ monté le poney de Jérémie et il a été très docile.
I went with "a monté". The quiz says the correct is "est monté".
Going by the Q&A, it seems like my answer was correct. I am stumped in two ways.
First, the Q&A says that avoir followed by the past participle is used for getting on a horse. This is a (pro)noun followed by a direct object. The lesson uses the example a "a monté mon cheval". I'm struggling to see why the verb auxiliary would switch based on who owns the horse.
Second, assuming I have the first part wrong someone how and être is the correct auxiliary, should the correct answer not be "est montée"? The subject is feminine.
I thought that in french, nouns must always have direct or indirect articles. But in the last sentence of this exercice, "cuillère et fourchette" aren't given any.
My dictionary defines "rayon" as a department within a store, not as an aisle (which it translates as "allée")
test question asked for "I feel nothing". I put "Je me sens rien" and it was marked incorrect. The correct answer was "Je sens rien". Please explain.
Tu ________ beaucoup de cartes d’anniversaire.
Hey guys,
I know the correct answer is as eu ,but why not avais ?!
Isn't the sentence like describing something in the past as L'Imparfait?!
Both mean "exactly." When do you use which phrase? Thanks.
Can someone please explain when to use "s'attendre à" versus "attendre" when talking about expecting? Expecting someone to do something - I was thinking that first sentence might have been "Laissez-moi vous expliquer ce que l'on s'attend à vous" (using the verb "s'attendre à") for "Let me explain what we expect of you", but instead the construction is "... que l'on attend de vous", using "attendre" which I associated with waiting rather than expecting.
