In the lesson on the above topic, it states that if "passer" is followed by a direct object, it uses "avoir" in the passé composé.
Elle est passée chez Laurent hier.She passed by Laurent's place yesterday.
Here, passer is followed by a direct object, yet uses "être".Should the translation be: Elle est passée par chez Laurent hier?This example seems to contradict the rule, even though it is a verb of motion in this sentence. Should have a preposition.
I love this site-- but I think they have done a bad job explaining what, if any, is the difference. Especially in the quizzes. what am I missing?
In the question 'Tu en connais des mamans calmes ?' what is the function of 'en' ?
Hi, I'm wondering why the "de" is included in this line?
I don't understand the choice of "allait" vs "va" in the sentence "Isabelle allait aussi tenter sa chance à Paris", as translating "is going" feels like "va."
"Un vraiment beau monument" is wrong, should read "un monument vraiment beau", yet I am led to believe that using a different subject "un très beau fille" is acceptable. If my example is correct can someone please explain. Thanks/Merci
Hi,
In the last sentence we had to translate "I don't think there will be a problem".
I know that with "Je ne pense pas" we use subjonctif but since the sentence was in the future tense I translated it to "Je ne pense pas qu'il y aura de problème" but the correct answer was "Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait de problème". Doesn't this actually translate to "I don't think there is a problem" rather than "there will be a problem" ? How do we convey the future tense part of it?
Thanks and regards
Roopa
