This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi." I don't uderstand the need for "elle." What purpose does it serve?
I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed. Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.
Please how do you use n'aime..
Personally, I think "quelques chevaux" is perfectly alright to say, whereas "un couple de chevaux" might be a little closer to "a pair of horses"?
But certainly, "quelques chevaux" is not wrong? Maybe using "couple" here is English creeping into the language? or even French Canadian?
Also "clôture" could be used instead of "barrière". I hear people saying "J'ai hâte de (faire ceci et cela)" all the time, in the sense "I am excited" (to do something), but I think one has be to be really careful and really sure of oneself before attempting "je suis excitée". And sure, maybe you could say a child or a dog is "surexcité" but would you say the L'homme est surexcité? Haha, not so sure about that!
It sounded very much like he added an 'a' sound to the end of this sentence ("faut-il-a"). Is it common to hear this in spoken French?
1) Je vais au cinéma le weekend? (I go to the cinema on weekends) .....is correct?
2) Le weekend, j'aime faire la fête. (On weekends, I like to party) .....is correct?
3) C'est lundi.... ou.... C'est le lundi? (It is Monday)
In the lecture, you have the following three sentences
Mes amis, merci à tous d'être venus.
Sarah, merci d'être venue.
Paul, merci d'être venu.
In all these three sentences, "Mes amis", "Sarah", and "Paul" are NOT the objects of the verb "venir", so even they are proceeds of the verb, why should the verb venir have to in agreement with "Mes amis", "Sarah", and "Paul"?
When you replace the direct object by a direct object pronoun (le/la/l'/les), it moves before the verb. That's when the past participle has to agree.Et la télé ? - Il l'a regardée.- What about TV? - He watched it.
BUT!I don't know whether the rule is valid for for "me,te,nous,vous,?
Tu nous ai regardé(e)s or Tu nous ai regardé
What does "en gras" mean in the context of a title?
