how will i know where to use etre and where to use avoir?
It seems strange that such a beautiful song should finish with the line “ In the shadow of your dog”. Chien can also be translated as charm eg avoir du chien. For what reason, therefore, is the final line not “ In the shadow of your charm”?
1. "je ferais régulièrement du sport" --> I thought "régulièrement" would go at the end of the sentence, or at least the expression "faire du sport"? I remember this lesson saying that sometimes adverbs ending in -ment go at the beginning or end of a sentence? Position of French Adverbs - with compound tenses
2. I translated "Getting informed" as "se renseigner." What's the difference between this and "s'informer"?
I am confused about the questions regarding Sentir bon and Se sentir bien. For example the sentence ‘I smell good’ can refer to two different things in English. ‘My sense of smell is good’, or ‘I physically smell good.’ How do we know which the question is being asked when the question is posed in English to be translated into French. I believe there would be a difference in translation, am I correct in this thought?
In the French written answer there should be a full stop instead of a comma in the line “Bien sûr Madame, On vous apporte ça tout de suite”. The corresponding line in English has a full stop. Thanks.
why do we use "lui" here in the sentence?
hi,
I was wondering if in your example for cette aventure etait amusante why are you using cette? The rules state that if a noun starting with a vowel for masculine nouns you use cet. Or is it because aventure is a feminine noun?
thank you
