This lesson is very confusing. Wow. I have so many questions, I don't know where to start!
Some example please, in negative and questions?
In the 90s, several rap groups released songs that included the repeated refrain "Whoop/Whoot there it is!" This would often be played during sporting events, especially basketball, as a way to celebrate scoring a goal. Is the French "ça y est" similarly celebratory? Is it ever associated with scoring a goal at a sporting event?
I believe the English should say ‘Tomorrow Federer will lose to Roland Garros’.
Can we say aux agents de bord instead of avec les agents de bord?
The text talks about shopping last weekend, not last week. Would it not be more precise to translate " last weekend" to "le week-end dernier" ? Why was this was not permitted ?
Should je suis toujours anxieux also be an accepted answer compared to je suis toujours nerveux? Or perhaps anxieux is considered more a medical condition and too strong in this context?
As per this lesson, would it be wrong to use the passé composé in ALL positive sentences with DEPUIS??
For example - "Vous avez grossi depuis l'année dernière."? Is it incorrect? [You have gained weight since last year]. Is it a must to use present tense ONLY over here?
So, "Vous grossissez depuis l'année dernière." - (Present Tense) [You have been gaining weight since last year]
Hi. Could 'sauf' have been used in "...mais il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire qu'à téléphoner au garage et attendre"?
Also, could 'rien de plus' be used instead of 'rien d'autre' or do they not mean the same thing?
