hello. is there any registration fees
why is 'regarder' in the infinitive when the word is 'looked' which is in past tense? why isn't it 'regardé' ?
Could you please explain why the future tense of être (to be) is incorrect when translating 'there'll be'.
In "économiser beaucoup de l'argent", why is there a definite article after the "de"?
your answer "ce qui me plait le plus dans ce métier"
should it not be "ce qui me plais le plus dans ce métier" ?
According to https://www.lawlessfrench.com/subjunctivisor/considerer/ this should not be subjunctive. (Strictly speaking)
I am presuming the use of subjunctive here is that the speaker is willing to allow some doubt into her suggestion ? I.e. that She accepts her opinion may not be correct, or that the point is debatable ?
Paul.
-> Please ignore this question, I can't delete it now, I think it's actually "le meilleur roman qui" which means the subjunctive is used in this context. Does that sound like the correct answer ?
Never sure about this one. I use ‘sortir’ when I’m leaving a house, for instance, but how does one ‘go out of’ a town? Seems to me that the examples using ‘partir’ and ‘quitter’ are the only correct ones, depending on context.
As a note, this is very poorly written for English speaking people to translate. "Happy as a clam" = "heureux comme un poisson dans l'eau" uh, sure. Why not just write "happy like a fish in water" so we could actually translate it? "Don't be pigheaded" = "ne sois pas têtue comme une mule" again, why not just say "don't be stubborn like a mule". "I could eat a horse" = "j'ai une faim de loup" - why not just say "hungry like a wolf". Made this exercise unnecessarily hard.
Why is "dont" incorrect here?
Thank you
Best regards
Eugene
