I am not doing the lessons in order but just looking them up for more for information in addition to what I am studying in class.
So say I am reading lesson 424 on passé composé, I have finished the 2 question quiz and then I want to go the next lesson....number 425...how do I get there?
If I type "Lesson 425" in the search box, it does not give me the option for that lesson.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Can someone explain why sometimes you make a "direct object" do something and other times an "indirect object"? Examples:
Je le fais asseoir à côté de moi (direct object) - I make him sit next to me
Je lui fais sortir la poubelle (indirect) - I make him take out the garbage
Elle lui fait cueillir les fleurs (indirect) - She makes him pick the flowers
There has to be a unifying rule that explains this distinction. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Both penser que and croire que are translated to "think that", although I think only croire que is ever translated to "believe that". A question in my recent (and final for the night) kwiz follows: Nicolas ______ Isabelle est intelligente. Nicolas thinks that Isabelle is clever.
I answered "croit que" and marked wrong. The correct answer was listed as "pense qu'" which led me to wonder: Would "croit qu'" have been correct as I think it should?
Can one say, "Daniel habite à l'extérieur de la ville" to say "Daniel lives outside of the city", or is it wrong or odd? Also, when I was in school, we were told to use "au-dehors de" but you do not include it in the prepositions lesson. Do people use this preposition? It is in the Collins dictionary.
I don't understand how to use indirect object?
Can pendre be used instead of accrocher?
Hi,
I was wondering when using être or avoir in the sentence below does it determine like it does when you use it in the idiomatic expressions?
L'étudiant n'est pas en classe. Il Sera encore endormi.
The student is not in class. He is probably still asleep
Cause I don't see the aura used here so I was wondering if it's similar when we learn about the idiomatic expressions.
Thank you
Nicole
