I'm a little bit stumped as to why the text insists on use of the pluperfect instead of le passé composé?
E.g. mes sœurs et moi avions hurlé and nous étions allés à l'église locale.
Why is it not nous avons hurlé and nous sommes allés?
Merci en avance pour la réponse!
on est perdus..... why plural ? on can take the place of nous ... is that the reason ?
Would one do liaison in this sentence?
Nous sommes troP Occupe's. (sorry I can make an accent)
I just asked my French son in law if he or his friends or family ever call it "Saint Sylvestre", and he says,
"non on ne dit jamais ca, on dit juste le nouvel an."Is it really very common to say Saint Sylvestre? Could that be regional, eg in Paris as opposed to southern part of the country where he's from?
Is the phrasing « but here it doesn’t mean no / any’ » not confusing in the last portion of the lesson, since the entry in this latter part addresses un/une where they earlier indicate de etc being the indicator of no / any…. The « but » should be removed, no?
Recently I got the question "C'est une ________ maison avec un beau jardin." which translates to: This is a beautiful house with a beautiful garden. However, if this is truly translated it is C'est une belle maison avec un beau jardin. Please fix
