i am confused by how vaisselle was pronounced
i thought that double ls always made a y sound like in fille, pronounced “feeye”
why do i not pronounce s in tu vas au travaille :(
how would i translate smth like “I love my mother, but I don’t like her.” thankd
i took a test and it was like “anne aime beaucoup john” or smth like that and i translated it to anne really loves john and it told me it was wrong and that it’s anne really likes john.
so i was like ok maybe the site wants literal and not used translations so i came to the lesson and it says that aime means love for a person :( now i have to retake the rest i am so sad pls help :(
Good day! My question is for this example: "On ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine." (People mustn't speak with their mouths full.).
Why is there no "avec"? Is this because it isn't meant to be transliteral?
Question for you on the example:
Tu finis ton assiette ou pas de dessert.You finish your plate or no dessert.Why is it not ta assiette since assiette is female?Remember that possessive pronouns agree in gender and number with the *owned* item (son billet / sa carte / ses parents).»
In the lesson, son,sa,ses have been referred to as possessive adjectives in one line, and possessive pronouns in the line immediately following. In general throughout the course they have been referred to as 'possessive adjectives' (as in French they are always followed by the noun modified, this would seem to be correct).
What is customary for writing out numbers? Is it common to write "6" ans but not 8h30?
Why is the form "le + day of the week" used in this exercise? I thought that form was reserved for habitual activities done on a specific weekday, but since it's a vacation it seems like they're telling us what they are doing in the upcoming week only.
Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?
This is confusing me... in English three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?
