Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive.
I understand about the "l'orientation" part, but shouldn't this read "Je n'ai jamais eu DE sens . . .." ? In negative sentences, we are told to use "de" after a negative express in order to express no/any, which seems to be exactly what this sentence is doing. Why translate "I've never had A good sense of direction" with a definite article?
Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)
In the passage 'n'avait pas quitté le coin du feu de toute la semaine' why is there a de before 'toute la semaine'?
The Quebecois term "la crème glacée" was rejected as a translation for "ice cream," which seems unfair. It should at least be allowed as one of the alternate suggestions.
Am struggling to understand why the answer uses the present subjunctive of etre.
Thanks for any help!
if ‘avoir envie de’ can be used as an alternative to ‘avoir besoin de’ for saying ‘needs to go to the bathroom’, why can’t it also be used for ‘needs to take a day off’? Isn’t it all down to context in both cases?
Pourquoi est-ce que je ne peux pas dire: "Ce sera un festin extraordinaire !" ?
