J’ai des questions concernant la grammaire de la dernière phrase du conte.
D’abord, la phrase « De la voir » est-elle causale ? C’est-à-dire, réponds-elle à une question « Pourquoi on pouvait difficilement se retenir… » ?
Et puis, la phrase « l’air tout penaud sous son immense… » est-elle en apposition à « la », c’est-à-dire, elle sert à décrire Claudine davantage mais tout sans lien exprès ?
Merci pour toute votre aide !Kwiz question " we see her tonight" answer "nous la voyons cet soir". I think it should be "nous lui voyons...if you follow the quick lesson.
How does one - are we going to the cinema?- My answer was Est ce qu'on va au cinema. the correct answer was on va au cinema. Was it not a question?

This is not a question about the subjunctive mood, but the sentence was an exercise of it, so I ask my question here.
What is the role of "en" in the following sentence: "Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'EN ai pas le temps !" Does it mean "I don't have the time for it."? Could you also just write "Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'ai pas le temps !" without the "en"?
The quick Lesson on this sites that in the negative imperative the subject pronoun (tu, vous, nous) is dropped.
In Schaum's Outlines text, I see the following negative imperatives: Ne te reveille pas, Ne nous reveillons pas, and Ne vous reveille pas.
One of the exercise questions in chapter 5 of same text asks for the negative imperative of "Promenez-vous dans le parc" The answer is Ne vous promenez pas dans le parc.
Having trouble understanding this
I had a more difficult time than usual understanding some of the French in this particular exercise. There were certain phrases or words that seemed to have a different rhythm or pronunciation to them. Conversations between two French people are one of the most difficult things for me to understand so that may explain my problems! However, I was curious to know if the men spoke with a regional French accent? Thanks
