Duolingo gives a sentence:
"You will have to not make a lot of errors during the exams."
The sentence is awkward and the given answer is:
"Il ne faudra pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"
but It also accepts:
"Il faudra ne pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"
as you suggest it should be above. Are both forms acceptable when negating the first of double verbs, is this a unique situation, or is there another explanation?
Whereas partitive articles du, de la, de l', des and indefinite articles un, une become de or d' in negative sentences [See Du, de la, de l', des all become de or d' in negative sentences (partitive articles) and Un, une become de or d' in negative sentences (indefinite articles)], this rule doesn't apply to definite articles le, la, l' or les which remain the same in negative sentences
It is so opinion on specific thing, so lesson says il est. But get marked wrong, is it because it is about colour? But is still a specific colour not colour in general
Marie préparer un voyage
I was intrigued by "dans ces moments-là" which is dropped into the examples without explanation of the choice of preposition. Maybe because it’s a generalisation, which doesn’t reference a particular time? I can’t see that it’s down to the choice of "moment" because you can say "en ce moment".
Il désire retourner A LYON. ….a) Il y désire retourner OR b) Il désire y retourner. Generally the pronoun precedes the infinitive, but at the same time we are told it should precede the verb it modifies. Could you please explain whether a) or b) is correct and why?
Just to be sure. Is it okay if I say,
« Regardez cette fleur. C’est beau, n’est pas? » ?
Salut,
Pourquoi on utilise "se faire" au lieu de qqchose d'autre dans la phrase suivante:
Il faut qu'on se fasse une soirée films ...
Merci!
