The answer in the quiz is incorrect.. The present tense for devenir is devenez as explained in the Quick Lesson.
I am confused about how to say have and when it is used. In English I use it to show possession I have. I can also use it to ask for something I will have (asking for something as in food or object) Can you help with my confusion.
Hello, I put 'suis-tu' in the first sentence, as 'have you been following' is the present perfect continuous, but it was marked as wrong. The answer in French, 'as-tu suivi', made it seem that the event was already in the past. Which is correct?
Thanks a lot.
There are mistakes in your translation: car instead of parce que
example from this lesson - Et leurs anniversaires ? - C'est bientôt !
contradicts with example from another lesson about c'est vs il/elle est - Où est ta tasse? Elle est sur la table. (rule: use il/elle est when giving opinions/short statements about specific things.)
"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
leur anniversaires - we are specifically talking about their aniversaries. so shouldn't we use il/elle est ? or maybe ils/elles sont ?
The answer; Elle s'est cachée jusqu'à ce qu'il soit parti. surely means ' she hid until he was gone'. 'After' is not in the sentence . Is it implied? in English there is a subtle difference between the two sentences.
Why in this sentence 'francaise' is omitted? The English text does contain the adjective 'French', that is to say
Pour moi, la meilleure joueuse de tennis française sera toujours Amélie Mauresmo.
Hello, in this story, when they are at the library, shouldn't 'choose' be used here rather than 'chose'?
Thanks.
Salut, i am confused as to why homework translated as devoir instead of devoirs Is it because homework is treated as uncountable and/or plural in French? I assume it's a one, countable, homework thats why I didn't think of it being devoirs.
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !
