Goodmorning, in the writing exercise "A favour between colleagues" the solution can be:
- "Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ?" or
- "Que puis-je faire pour toi ?"
Would it be incorrect to say "Qu'est-ce que puis-je faire pour toi ?". Thanks in advance.
If the expression was write your name here, an action for signing an agreement, could you use ecrivez in place of incrivez which means register.
Can anyone please give few examples of [personne + de + adjective]?
Qui fait les mots "à ce que" dans la phrase suivant: "Vous aurez pu le rejoindre d'ici à ce que je sorte du travail"?
Why is there a 'le' between 'tu' and veuilles in this sentence 'C'est comme ça, que tu le veuilles ou pas' instead of just que tu veuilles.
Si "to go ski" est "faire du ski", pourquoi "would go skiing" n'est pas "faisaient du ski"?
Why does this question require le subjonctif passé, rather than merely the present subjunctive?Couldn't I just use this?Ils ont besoin que nous arrivions avant le début de la cérémonie
Instead:Ils ont besoin que nous soyons arrivés avant le début de la cérémonie ? But doesn't this translate as "They need us to have arrived before the beginning of the ceremony"?
Why not on est resté
or nous sommes restés
« On » is singular, grammatically speaking, like the impersonal/formal « one » in English, but in the example it appears to be being treated as plural « nous »
I would have thought On est restés was incorrect.
Sorry for this very small quibble - the above sentence from the microquiz isn’t idiomatic English and I can’t think when I would say it. Who is making "the noise", "that noise" or even "a noise" are possible.
Je vais aller à l'épicerie. - this was marked wrong because the answer should be without aller, but is it grammartically wrong or just not what the answer asking for?
