Can anybody help me convert a French verb into a French noun? Is there any particular rule or grammatical tips or tricks that I can change a french verb into a french noun? Please help me.
This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi." I don't uderstand the need for "elle." What purpose does it serve?
I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed. Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.
I have 2 questions
1-
can I use indirect object or direct object before the verb for "penser à" when I talk about people?
and what is the rule for
Je pense à Lui(tom)
je lui pense or je le pense?? (does it work with any of them?)
2-how can I inverted imperatif with penser à for people
pense à moi or pense moi (whicj one is true?)
I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.
Could the translation for "...sans ostracisme..." be "without exclusion"?
I wouldn't have thought the very last sentence would be a question, so I had a guess and got it wrong of course.
Should it have ended more better?
Why is it sometimes « ne pas de » plus infinitive, « ne pas a » plus infinitive, or in other examples simply « ne pas » plus infinitive? Can someone explain the reason for the use of de or a, or their omission? Thank you.
Cette argile is corrected to Cet argile yet argile is listed as feminine in the dictionary.
this lesson syes apres que plus indicative; but next lesson states apres que plus future anterior- is it just guessing from sense of the sentence?
One of the question for this lesson was "During World War II, Charles de Gaulle was the architect of France's liberation."
May I ask by what wild stretch of the imagination could this be even remotely factual?
He was far more of a hindrance than a help.
It was the British and Americans who liberated France. All De Gaulle did was continually get in the way and create unnecessary problems.
He was nothing more than a self serving politician who ran away to hide in Algiers when the going got tough.
When learning a foreign language, I believe it is important to get the history of that country right.
