“This lesson is kind of confusing me. At school I learned that the superlative must come after the noun unless the adjective would come before the noun, and in that case the placement would be a choice. The French About page on superlatives also states this rule. So wouldn't "Marie est la plus intelligente fille de la classe" be incorrect?”
I am also confused and would appreciate clarification.
The order of verbs in the headline, participles in the first line of text, and the subsequent examples are in different orders. It would be helpful to order each list the same.
Tu es sortie bien que je ne sois pas d'accord.
This is the correct answer, but shouldn't "sois" be in the subjonctif passé, since the English is "was"?
normally we use "de" for make uncountable words negative
for example je ne vois pas de lait
but what do we have to in these sentences?
"je ne peux pas boire de lait" or je ne peux pas boire du lait
which one is correct
ı wish your helps.. Merci beaucoup
I put Ils me manquaient quand ils étaient partis but the answer given is Ils m'ont manqué quand ils étaient partis.
I thought it would be imparfait because I was in a state of missing them all the time they were absent.
Why is this correct? Isn't "quel, quelle etc." only for things? and while Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales is correct is there a difference in meaning between the two?
Why is italienne not capitalized in the phrase "de la Renaissance italienne?" Also, why is the article "le" not used in the first mention "de Florence en Italie", but is used in "ses carnets duvoyage sure l'Italie" ? Has "medicine" gone out of usage for the designation of medical doctor and has "docteur" supplanted it? "Docteur" is applicable to non-physicians (e.g., those with PhD's) and is there another designation for them? Thanks.
Dear Aurelie,
In the sentence: Ma mere me .....ce que je m'endorme.
Why is it not "que je me suis endormi " here?
Thanks
Les enfants, curieux, ---I conjugated third person plural fureter as furettent. The correct conjugation is furetent [can't put accents here], but fureter is not on your list of eter and eler verbs that are conjugated in this way. Is this an oversight or am I missing something?
