My answer - qui
Correct Answer - ce qui
I understand we use « ce qui » when referring to the whole fact of the sentence. But here the castle (noun) is the one located in the forest.
What am I not getting?
I don't understand this particular line:
The context in which you could use sortir de [ville] to express to leave [city] is very specific in French (note that it doesn't apply to countries,states,regions etc). It would only refer to an action in progress
Does this mean you can't use sortir de [ville] in future/past tense (Je sortirai de Paris), but you CAN use it in other tenses with countries, states, regions, etc?
Or does this mean you cannot use it with countries, states, regions...and you can only use it with cities if it's an action in progress?
It would be great to have more exercises like this.
I've read through alot of the Q&A below. I still dont get it. Why does the title of this lesson say that J'allais + infinitive expresses the near future. To me, and looking at the examples in english eg. she was going to call ...., is that not the recent past? Merci.
Bon jour, j'habite à Chicago. Mon parents habitent à NYC.
Où habitez-vous?
Où habitez des girafe?
Où habitent Mark Carney? Il habite à Toronto ou à Ottawa?
Bon soir,
Claire
The example that brought me here was J'ai déjà travaillé dans un restaurant. The lesson says that the adverb is placed after the past participle, but the correction places it before the past participle
Is there a difference between using 'nous' and 'on' when using the aller verb?
I’ve written "Peut-être pourrais-je demander" instead of "Peut-être que je pourrais demander". Are both equal or is there a difference in formality?
So I wanted to test my proficiency at the A0 level, so I chose the Kwiz A0 option from my focus tab. In there, there was a question about Louvre, where I put "C'est quoi" as the answer, and it got marked incorrect. The answer was supposed to be "Qu'est-ce que c'est". But coming back to this lesson, I couldn't figure out the difference between either of the phrases, or any difference regarding when and where they should be used. So I'm just a bit confused right now. Would like some help.
I thought adverbs can only modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
How come the adverb 'bientôt' is placed before the nound 'les vacances"?
