Can you use s’intéresser à instead of être intéressé de?
Hi,
The lesson says "[f]or pronunciation reasons, you will use en with masculine countries starting with a vowel". I was wondering if it is also written out in this way or if it is only pronounced this way and the au preposition is maintained for singular masculine countries in writing.
Also, does this rule apply to countries with aux as their preposition? For example, would the aux of États-Unis become en?
Thanks!
As per Danilo's comment previously, (~11 months ago) it would be helpful with the examples for parler/finir/faire/prendre to have both the translation for the present tense form (as currently is included) and also for the imparfait form associated. I had to do a double take on this too - the lesson is on imparfait, and I expected consolidation of the meaning of those conjugations in the section. Relatively minor but useful, I think.
When I have done well on a quiz, there is often a comment regarding what I have "won". "Someone won something!" or, " Look at all you've won!" I was just wondering what am I winning or what have I won, and where is it being kept?
I keep getting asked a question that I know I have no intention of answering.. I don't answer it so it keeps getting asked.. .. and asked..... is there any way of telling Kwiziq not to ask me again?.. and, presumably, it is marking me down for my failure to answer.
to help me remember which demonstrative pronoun to use. I'm surprised i haven't come across this somewhere else because now it seems obvious to me.
Anyway, thought i'd share in case it can help others.
Think of them like this:
ce-lui
c-eux
c-elle
c-elles
of course, just remove the hyphen and you have your correct demonstrative pronoun!
I am a premium subscriber. Why can't I take Kwizes more often than weekly or longer?
Your example: Elle aime sa nouvelle veste.
I understood from A1 lesson that with clothes (f) we use "la". I noted:
Tu as les mains dans les poches = You have your hands in your pockets
Is there an lesson on the construction "de + infinitive"? Having finished the course I can't see one, and of course it is used frequently: e.g. La bonne résolution d'Isabelle est de découvrir d'autres cultures.
