I wonder if we can do the same before verbs starting by a vowel, because in this case n would change the sound a bit.
For example:
- Je n'aime pas de chiens
- J'aime pas de chiens
J’ai utilisé les médecins dans la texte. Ce n’est pas correct ?
Mes élèves travaillent bien,______ ______mon collègue aussi est sérieux.
Use pronom démonostratif
I wrote "et je revêtirai les vêtements confortables" and it corrected it to "et je mettrai les vêtements confortables". Why can't I use the verb revêtir here? It's the word I always knew for "to put on [clothes]" and according to my dictionary that's exactly what it means.
i am confused by how vaisselle was pronounced
i thought that double ls always made a y sound like in fille, pronounced “feeye”
Or
Le Royaume de Jouets
I saw the first one but why not the second one? Cause I think "de" in here is like "Of" in English, so since "Of" is not related to the number of "Jouets", it should be "de" instead of "des"
Quand tu ________ d'avis, tu m'appelleras.When you change your mind, you'll call me. Answer - changeras (future)
________ une décision, vous serez les premiers au courant.When I've made a decision, you'll be the first to know.Answer - Quand j'aurai pris (future anterior)
Thanks, James
A 'parlement' was not a parliament; the connection is etymological but not semantic. The latter is a representative national assembly, so you might risk translating it either as 'assemblée nationale' or 'états généraux', although you start to move into controversial historical territory here! However, a 'parlement' was an entirely different institution: it didn't pass laws, it was a kind of appeal court. The people gathered there were judges, not (elected or nominated) representatives. In addition, the English, the British now UK Parliament is a national institution, whereas there was one 'parlement' for each regional. The 'parlements' were abolished in 1790, so aren't a useful point of reference for contemporary politics. I'd drop it from your list, as retention unfortunately helps this longstanding misunderstanding continue.
Hi, I was surprised to see that “tous mes amis ont crié” did not use “criés”. Is this because “tous mes amis” is singular (a single group)? And would “mes amis ont criés” be correct (linguistically speaking, not a group, but multiple individuals)?
Je trouve ce sujet difficile a comprendre. Chaque fois j'ai répondu c'est la mauvais réponse. Aimer ou aimer bien, ou aimer beaucoup. Pouvez-vous expliquer. Merci.
