Le professeur dit de ne pas courir.
Can "ne pas courir" be used as the negative imperative "Don't run !"
Small point of detail : la République Française, or la République française ?
I think this should be la République française (française not capitalised).
What is the consensus on this ? Does it matter ? Would either be ok ?
On Wikipedia, in this context , française generally seems to be in lower case, and I think the same on L'OBS web site.
Thanks. Paul.et n'est pas toujours pas revenu. My question is in regard with first (Pas), should it be there? if so, why?. Also, I verified with the audio file, it is not there.
Hi,
I'm wondering why we would say 'on a dégusté des spécialités lyonnaises' rather than 'on dégustait des spécialités lyonnaises'. I thought that we would use the imperfect in this case as it happened over an extended period of time?
Deux petites coquilles se sont glissées dans ce texte :
le mot « traditionnelle » a été écrit avec un seul « n » tandis que « la République française » a été rendue comme « la République Française »
Why is it "N'ayons" yet "ne sois pas" - i.e. one has the "pas" but the other doesn't?
How can “I cycle to work” become “I am going to work” (near future) by bike. That would be if he is a courrier. Shouldn’t it be « je vais au travaille » ? And I thought that by bike would be à vélo.
In the sentence "Fiona est la fille que nous avons invitée" - Can it also be translated that Fiona is the girl who invited us (nous as us)?
Please help
