In the translation of the sentence : The invigorating wind lasher her face , why is lui used : le vent revigorant lui fouettait le visage ??
Why is "I really feel like an ice cream !" "J'ai vraiment envie d'une glace !" in the past tense? Isn't the statement in the present tense as it is happening now?
All the examples listed for when "non plus" is the appropriate response for sentences that include "ne ... pas." I am curious if you can use "non plus" if the negative adverb is other than "ne ... pas"?
E.g., "Je ne vais jamais au cinéma." "Moi non plus"
Also, what if the statement is positive and you respond in negation? E.g., "J'aime la vanille" and I don't like vanilla. Do I say, "moi non plus," or is "moi non" the right response?
Thanks!
In a recent test, the answer required was "mes parent aimeraient ce qu'on se marie" and the response "'voudraient'' was not accepted. Aren't either regularly used to mean "'would like?" I think technically the former is would like and the latter is would want, but that seems pretty subtle. For example, in ordering food "'Je voudrais avoir . . . .''
what is the reason that it is sometimes du or de not changed. i know it stays as de behind expreesions of quantity, befire plural adjectives befor nouns and after negative but have seen it elsewheere too and amgetting confused
How do we use plus que parfait in grammar and in composition
so i wrote quatre heures de l'apres midi and it marked wrong, told it shoulb be seize heures. when i used 24 hour clock was told it only for railway etc timetables, please what is right?
This was a question in the test and I chose the passé composé answer "Nous avons appris l'espagnol." because the action has no effect on the present. But the answer key said the imparfait answer "Nous apprenions l'espagnol." is correct choice. Why is that?
