I am trying to understand why one needs to ad the D' in the sentence D'où venez-vous?
why not simply say : Où venez-vous? Why is the de important here?
can we use the verbs which can be inverted with je in the future ?
For example devrai-je?(is this correct?)
But when in my study plan quiz I answered:
‘Write "We're having a walk in Central Park": Nous ________ dans Central Park’ with (Nous) nous baladons (dans Central Park.) it was marked wrong.
I realise it’s informal but I can’t see anything in the question to suggest that informality would be in appropriate. What’s the problem? I checked the conjugation with Lawless French.
Why is 'le' in this sentence?
Also in "J'en vaux vraiment la peine !" in the lesson, why "J'en vaux..." instead of "Je vaux ..."?
Bonjour
In the video we have J'ai recu les lettres. Why then do we say Je les ai recues. ? Recevoir is is a verbe d'etat?
Merci
Hello!
I was wondering about this: There is a song "je le vous dirai" - it seems to go against the rules about the order as outlined above. Is there a reason for this? Does it mean something different? Would this just be chalked up to creative freedom to make something sound better because it's a song?
Thanks!
I understand the phrase, but could you clarify: Can you split the phrase in two within a sentence? Example: Je vais generalement a la gym a pied? Thanks. Valerie
Isn’t the character who marries Cosette called, ‘Marius’ and not, ‘Marcus’? :-)
