"Bonjour! Je m'appelle Trefia. Je suis une fille. J'habite à Malang, en Indonésie. Je travaille ici aussi. J'aime lire les livres et j'aime écoute de la musique. Enchanté." How was it? Merci beaucoup.
In the first sentence of the full text at the end of the lesson, the last phrase text reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says ..."alors, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !"
During the exercise, the text for this phrase also reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says"...donc, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !"
Since "comme" is the qualifier in the preceding phrase, the use of either "alors" or "donc" doesn't seem to make sense.
Est-ce que je peux écrire
baisser la température
a la place de
faire descendre la temperature
Merci
I'm sorry, but this is a terrible example sentence. Who on earth would refer to walking their dog as "taking a walk with" their dog? The dog has no independence. It doesn't join you for a walk the same way your friend Julie might.
The example sentence should be changed to:
Anne et Antoine promènent leur chien.
You can have the same answer choices, but the correct answer would be "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." Which is a sentence you might say in real life, as opposed to "They're taking a walk with their dog" which no one said ever.
D'accord:
"You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):
Mercredi, tu iras à l'école.On Wednesday, you will go to school."
UNLESS "when giving a whole date (day/number/month/[year]), such as
Le mardi 5 mars, j'ai rencontré Lola.On Tuesday the 5th of March, I met Lola.
Par example on the test : Le mardi 6 janvier, j'étais malade.On Tuesday the 6th of January, I was sick.
HOWEVER< If the question was "On Tuesday I was sick" (without the whole date), it would be "Mardi, j'étais malade."
Is that correct?? Thanks
I assume that the avoir aspect of the sentence also changes with tense for example:
Imparfaite =J'avais besoin de= I have needed
Future= J'aurai besoin de= I will need
Passe compose= J'ai eu besoin de= I needed
Plus-que-Parfaite= J'avais eu besoin de= I have had needed
etc.
Is this correct?
Why doesn’t the past participle take an extra ‘s’ with ‘nous’. Isn’t there more than one person, like ‘ils’?
Est-ce que la phrase "à ces heures" a un sens? Merci.
Why isn't "je lui ai fabriqué un album photo" not "j'ai fabriqué pour lui un album photo"? The grammar section on lui v le focuses exclusively on verbs followed by à such as plaire and téléphoner.
Google Translate says "I made an album for him" = "J'ai fait un album pour lui" (but weirdly, "I made a photo album for him" = "Je lui ai fait un album photo").
Should we are going to Portugal be nous allons au Portugal or nous allons dans le Portugal.
