Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I am unable to understand the concepts behind the following sentences.
(A)Ce portable, appartient-il à ce monsieur?
The answers I thought were->
1.Oui, c’est le sien. 2. Oui, il est à lui. 3.Oui, il appartient à lui.
Are they correct ? Can one say- Oui, il est le sien ?
(B)Tout le monde n’a pas les mêmes goûts, chacun a __________
Here, the correct answer will be les siens. Why cannot it be le sien ?
Merci beaucoup et bonne journée!
Can I not write "depuis la naissance de ma fille" en place de "j'ai donné naissance à ma fille"?
Can I not write "seulement" instead of "ne...que"
Finally, for the sentence "et ceux pour lesquels c'est impensable" I wrote "et ceux pour qui cela est impensable" I used cela and not ce because it referred to an idea in previous part of the sentence. Please explain why cela is wrong here or why c is correct.
Thanks in advance!
Bonjour! Could the interviewer have answered “si, vraiment” when James said “n’importe quoi”? Also, I infer that “n’importe quoi” is something you’d say when trying to be humble. What’s a good equivalent in English? I don’t exactly understand the expression. Merci!
Bonjour,
I've just been explaining this to my wife and I think it has finally gone in at last
Hi - I'm having a great time taking the tests - and I miss some questions simply because I don't have the accents on my keyboard. - Otherwise enjoying it!
Why does the question asking for the conjugation of s'asseoir mark the answer "Nous nous assoyons" in favour of "Nous nous asseyons" when according to the LESSON on this subject provides both conjugations ?
In the song Jalousie by Angele, in saying the English question, "Who is that girl in the photo", why does she say,
"C'est qui cette fille sur la photo" rather than "Qui est cette fille sur la photo"?
Is this Walloon French, since she is from Belgium? Thank you very much.
