Hello there,
What is the difference/nuance between this two sentences?
Je ne vais jamais à Marseille.
Je ne suis jamais allée à Marseille.
This is soooo complicated — you can see how many questions you have gotten — could you please move this to a higher level? Personally I don't think it fits the CEFR definition of this level..
I don't understand why "déguise" is used in the translation of "Grandma always wanted us to be dressed up for the occasion". The suggested answer given is "Mamie voulait toujours qu'on soit déguisés pour l'occasion". All the references I look at imply "make unrecognizable/camouflage", so I'm wondering why "déguisé" is preferred to something like "habillé" in this context? Is it an idiomatic expression?
So I was reading one of these examples and I noticed that mieux was used instead of meilleur. I think meilleur would fit better as it compares two nouns (ta voiture and la mienne). Can anyone please clarify? The phrase is as follows:
J'aime bien ta voiture, elle est mieux que la mienne.Notre clients projette d'aller a la concurrence. Wouldn't "competition" be a more precise translation than "our rivals"?
The following -ETER and -ELER verbs behave differently: they always and ONLY take the accent è on the first -e (-eter/-eler):
-ELER: agneler - celer - receler - ciseler - démanteler - écarteler - s'encasteler - geler (and derivatives: dégeler, congeler, surgeler) - marteler - modeler - peler
-ETER: acheter (and derivatives:racheter) - bégueter - corseter - crocheter - fileter - fureter - haleter
I would like to know more about the use of past participles as adjectives. Could you please help me .
