I do not understand why se faire is used in the case.
Nothing is being done to or for - rembourser.
Is « un chat sympa » not a good translation?
on every site I've looked at, it says its 'dire à' and not 'dire de' to 'tell sb to do st' ? is this an error ?
Just wondering why the passé composé is used in this phrase. Thanks for your response.
Hi, I don't really understand when to use the present tense and when to use the future tense after "prochain". eg L'année prochaine, il commence l'université AND En septembre prochain, Gareth visitera Madrid. In fact I'm a bit vague on Future/Present options in general....A pointer towards a lesson would be appreciated, Thanks.
in the phrase 'avec son architecture colorée.' Why is the adjective feminine when the subject is masculine ?
Here is the phrase: "Enfin, j'arrive sur la Grand-Place et je retrouve mon frere a cote de la fontaine."
Note: "La Grand-Place" was given as the hint for this sentence, otherwise I might have written, "la Grande-Place", (even though the pronunciation is "grand" and not "grande").
Does anyone know why " la Grand-Place", rather than "la Grande-Place" since "la place" is feminine ?
Merci beaucoup !
The answer to “I’m going home” is: Je rentre chez moi. Why is “chez nous” not acceptable?
“Sa mère et moi l'avons seulement assistée avec les démarches administratives.”. Hi, ”sa mère” (mother is female) “et moi” (“moi” is the father, who is male) “avons assistée” (first-person plural passé composé). We have a mixture of male and female forming the “we”, so should the past participle be “assisté” and not “assistée”? Thanks.
