Six years on from the last question in Q&A (asking why not "faisait") the sentence just came up again in a Kwiz: the English equivalent is common usage but I’d like to know why the French one doesn’t seem to follow the usual concordance of tenses?
This correction confuses me, because in the English phrase the past tense is used (I wasn't OK with it). Is this an error or can you explain why my answer was wrong?Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je ne serais pas d'accord.Tu es sortie bien que je ne sois pas d'accord.
Why "ce sont devenues" rather than "ces sont devenues" in the last sentence?
I did not think ennuyer is reflexive. Therefore, I used ai and not suis.
Pourquoi n'est pas à et un contracté dans la phrase joué à un jeu? Joué au jeu?
Why is it téléphoné and not téléphonée?
Est-ce que le « ne » qui suit « personne » et « rien » est omis en français parlé, ou est-ce qu'on dit quand même « ne », même dans un registre très familier ?
I took a multiple-choicequiz with this sentence: Which of the following means "They leave work at 7pm." ?
The first time I took it I was told the correct answer was “ Ils laissent leur travail à 19h.”
So the second time I took it I chose that sentence. However it was marked as incorrect with the correct answer given as: Ils quittent leur travail à 19h.
How can a sentence be marked correct one time and incorrect the second time?
I used apporter instead of emporter but the correction given (not what is displayed in the final text at the end of the quiz) wasn't emporter, it was amener, which cannot be correct. What was being brought to the garage wasn't a person but an inanimate object, a car. Can you advise further? Thank you.
