Can we say nous faisons un gâteau???/
Vous faites un gâteau !!!?
Correct ??
Pouvez-vous me donner les recettes svp?
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?
Can someone confirm the rule? Merci!
With compound verbs and dual-verb constructions, the first and second word of most* negative pronouns surround the conjugated (first) verb. The exceptions: Personne and aucun place ne in front of the conjugated verb and the second word after the main verb.
Par exemple: Je n'ai vu personne hier. (I saw no one yesterday.)
....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?
"They will have been happy together" doesn't make any sense in English. It is mixing future and past with no mood context. It implies that you looked in the future and could see that they had been happy in the past (which is your future). If this is a tense that cannot be translated, then it should be translated directly as a lesson.
