We say “j’aime le chocolat” (in general) or “j’ai mangé du chocolat” (a quantity). So I thought the translation for “we tasted sausage rougails with yellow rice” might be “nous avons goûté DES rougails”, but the answer was “nous avons goûté LES rougails”. I thought it would follow the same logic as the accompanying yellow rice, “… avec du riz jaune”. But my reasoning is obviously not quite correct. Can someone please explain why “les” and not “des” for the rougails?
Does this lesson apply in this example:
I want to say, I would really like to see you when I come to Paris."" Which is correct?
J'aimerais bien te rencontrer quand je serai venue à Paris! ou J'amerais bien te rencontrer quand je viens à Paris.
If the latter is incorrect, should I just think of this as saying... "when I will have come to Paris."
Je trouve ce sujet difficile a comprendre. Chaque fois j'ai répondu c'est la mauvais réponse. Aimer ou aimer bien, ou aimer beaucoup. Pouvez-vous expliquer. Merci.
How do you know which to use, between auquel and à laquelle? Is the first masculine and the second feminine?
Wouldn’t the translation be
Cher Matt, chère Kate, je vous manque.
While I understand that the phrase: “Où mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?” is technically correct for the exersise, I am having a hard time mentally processing when I would ever use first-person inversion. To me, it sounds incredibly snooty and stuck up and something I would never want to suggest that I am.
Is there a situation I would be inclined to use the first person inversion for asking a question, and why?
Est-ce qu' il n' y pas les bandes dessinees et les chaussettes sales de Pierre sous son lit
the answer "Non, vraiment, ça ne me plaît pas du tout !"
should it not be "Non, vraiment, ça ne me plais pas du tout !"
?
On the resume can I use masculine instead of feminine
or is there an acceptable gender neutral?
