....compared to most other languages.
I wrote:
.....comparée à la majorité D'autres langues.
Why is it DES autres langues?
Also
........so my mother tongue would have prepared me.....
I wrote:
.....que ma langue maternelle m'aurait préparéE
I thought an extra 'e' was required because of la langue?
I also notice that the dictionary gives the following English translations of "avoir hate": "to be anxious to", "to be looking forward to", "to be in a hurry to", but does NOT give "I can't wait to". Any comment?
I’m finding this unexpectedly hard! Not least because to "love" a thing is usually just a hyperbolic way of saying you "really like" it. (Apart from things you personify eg a childhood toy). Also, for written aimer + thing, how can I tell if it’s love or like?
"Ils avaient fait..."
"Il avait fait..."
These two sentences sound same. Is there a way that we can understand the correct sujet?
Wondering why it is bourgeons éclore rather than éclorent
Merci pour votre réponse
Is ‘its been a long time since ‘ always followed by a verb in the negative? Some language sites seem to have sentences without a negative.
If the rule is ne...pas +passe compose +depuis longtemps means not in a long time, surely Martin n'est pas arrive depuis longtemps would translate as Martin hasn't been here in a long time, not Martin hasn't been here long?
I knew the answer to one of your test questions but because your application only offered three answers (and didn’t include the fourth correct one which was “sera” by the way) in the multiple choice options...well, obviously it didn’t grade me properly. This has happened before but I never complained. But could you look into it? Just check my most recent test (Être - Future Tense). Thanks. Valerie Oblath
