In the last sentence I typed "quand ils partent de mon salon !" but "partent de" marked as an error and advised "quittent" or "sortent de".
Could you please explain why "partent de" cannot be used here as an option ?
For "partir", in the relevant lesson, it is written as: "When used with a place, it will always be followed by a preposition (e.g. I leave from / for = Je pars de / pour)" Example: Je pars de cette ville.
I thought we need to agree past participle with the number of people... I did, We brushed our hair = Nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux. However, kwizBot said, it was only nearly good, the right answer was: Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux.
I'm confused, what's my mistake then? Did I misunderstand something?
HI,
I was wondering there are two ways you can use to getting used to in a sentence. From my understanding would it be correct to use se Faire for the causative for having something done for someone just like the regular Faire causative? Also would you use s'habituer for the most common?
Thank you
Nicole
Hello,
This is the sentence I'm talking about: He was sick all day yesterday.
This is why I'm confused:
a) It could be imparfait because I believe that when you talk about health, you use the imparfait.
b) It could be passé composé because you know the time-frame of when it (him being sick) took place: all day yesterday.
Hi, in “les enfants sont bel et bien notre avenir” is “bel et bien” an invariable expression? And is that why we don’t have “les enfants sont beaux et bien” instead?
Est-ce qu'on peut utiliser le mot français, la péninsule, au lieu de 'la presqu'île' ? Si non, quelle est la différence ?
In the sentence: ¨Je vais acheter des pommes de terre et des patates douces pour préparer deux types de purée.¨, I used ¨purées¨ to match the plural established by ¨types¨.
Is ¨purée¨ always a singular noun?
The audio example for « il geint » doesn’t sound like the other -eint verbs (eg il peint), it’s more like "jean". Does the initial g alter the pronunciation?
Now that could be misinterpreted!.. if you mean a Master's degree.. try Master's!
