The lesson says: - We use the auxiliary verb être conjugated in a compound tense*, followed by the past participle of the verb. However, all the examples use avoir, not etre. I'm assuming etre is a mistake.
Cécile has answered a couple of questions on the noun "prouesse" but I don't quite understand the subtlety here. I put "leur prouesse sportive m'impressionne sans cesse" (i.e. in the singular), which I think sounds the same as the plural "leurs prouesses sportives m'impressionnent sans cesse". Cécile said the plural is correct in this case as it referred to both twins, but "leur dynamisme", "leur esprit d'indépendance" and "leur passion" all equally referred to both twins and these were all in the singular. Why is it only their sporting prowess that is plural here? Thanks.
I am thrown off because most of the sentences here don’t seem to imply a desire or hypothetical. The English translation seems to imply that the person actually is attentive which is what the speaker likes. No wish is implied.
When the final answer to the text is presented, why is
"j'ai appris beaucoup sur la culture française" favoured over
"j'ai beaucoup appris sur la culture française" ?
Any rules here ?
Thanks. Paul.
Just FYI, the HINT i.e. mon rêve is attached to the wrong audio file.
I understand both are used to indicate my, however, I’m not sure when to use one over the other
It was marked incorrect, but doesn’t it fit the sentence better? It said that it should have been “Pendant qu’il va se préparer avec toi....”.
Thanks!
