Dans les notes, le prof écrivait plusieurs fois "None of them are ....". En fait, "none" en anglais est une contraction de "not one", si la bonne conjugaison du verbe en anglais serait "None of them is .....".
So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? -
- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?
Pourquoi est la cédille nécessaire dans le mot perçeuse ? En fait, le dictionnaire, Wordreference, n’utilise pas la cédille dans l’orthographe de ce mot. Est-ce une option ?
I'm sorry but it's very hard to follow the explanations.
In this lesson, you basically mean:
des autres = the other(s) - specific ones, whenever "de" would be in front
d'autres = other(s) - unspecific, generic
Could you please explain the difference between toucher and toucher à? What do they imply?
Please share some examples.
Hi, I used " pour autant que je m'en souvienne" and it marked my answer as wrong. Can someone please explain that. thanks
j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?
"I have been living here for 10 years" --> J'habite ici il y a 10 ans". I know the translation provided by the video is "Il y a 10 ans sue J'habite ici". Why can't I say the I live part (J'habite) first? Thank u :)
In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme! My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ». I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.
