Can infinitif passé be used with avant de under some circumstances?
Here's an example sentence from my French class:
Il n'ira pas jouer avec ses amis avant d'avoir fini ses devoirs.
The question was to correctly conjugate the verb finir in the bolded place; I'd written finir (infinitif présent) in the first place.
Hi, I notice in some text books faire in the subjonctif present - third person plural is spelt fassent and not the same way as done here faissent. Can both spellings be used?
Dear French team. i have just started lessons on your platform. i started to like it. however i am still making up my mind. in the meantime i was about to take the Diagnostic test but i closed it because it was too late. then next day its marking me C1 level . can you please clarify and i want to do the test so that i can check my progres.. thanks. on the way to premium version. viola. Merci beaucoup.
There is discordance between the hint and the 'best answer' indicated.
The best answer was listed as " ... ravi de TE rencontrer" with the answer "...ravi de VOUS rencontrer" getting the strikethrough and relegation to the 2nd line!
Both accepted, which is lso not quite right if 'vous' is needed in the social context.
(And the final transcript uses 'enchanté' alone, which although correct, would make the clue to use polite 'vous' redundant.)
Why is laisser included in the following? : -
ATTENTION:Verbs in -ETTER, -ELLER and -E(xx)ER (errer, blesser, laisser etc.) are not included in this rule: they follow the regular pattern.
2) Tous, veulent nous interviewer
2nd question: Can 'they all have all of them (eg. books)' be translated as: 'Ils les ont tous tous'?
Thank you.
Why are only "a qui" and "a laquelle" accepted as answers, while "dont" isn't?
les chauves-souris jouent à cache-cache.
Why there is no article before cache-cache, like 'Je joue au tennis' and 'Je joue au jeu de société'.
How we answer in Franch
Can we say that if même precedes the noun, it means "same" and if it comes after the noun, it means "very/itself"?
