When talking about Saturday and Sunday, "le" is used. But the grammar section on articles + days of the week says that if you are talking about a particular day of the week (i.e., a particular Saturday, as the Saturday of this romantic weekend) and not the day in general, you don't use the article. So why is it used here?
The word "toujours" is confusing here. Why doesn't Bastien respond in the imperfect to express his habitual actions and say "je faisais toujours comme ça" instead of saying "j'ai toujours fait comme ça..."? He has "always" left his clothes on the floor and still intends to do so. Shouldn't this scenario be expressed by the imperfect? Thanks for any help.
One of the questions that I keep getting on here is asking for how to say “what is a baguette” - it provides the ending of “... une baguette”.
It says that the answer is Qu'est-ce qu’ and that Qu'est-ce que c'est is incorrect
According to this lesson, would both be correct along with C’est quoi?
On vient de/du Canada?
It says the answer is du -- but Canada is (f). I thought the rule of venir de/du/des, was feminine de, plural des, masc du. Please help :_
Qu'est-ce que veut dire l'expression: "Et avant que tu ne sortes tes meilleures vannes, sache que j'en bave vraiment" !
What is the difference between J'était dormir and Je dormait? Are they both correct to indicate "I was sleeping"?
épargner is a correct translation for to save up but the bot changed it to économiser.
I find the Q&A at the bottom of each lesson almost impossible to follow.
It's hard to work out who's asking a question, or who's responding.
Some colour or additional formatting would make this area a lot more useful.
