This is the first B2 listening exercise that I have transcribed perfectly. Thanks for so many interesting dictées which keep me interested and motivated.
HI,
I forget what lesson in A1 I saw this and now I can't find it. But one sentence has c'est un Vieux sac for it's an old bag but the second one is c'est un vieil home for he's an old man. My question is why is c'est for he is or she is shouldn't it be il/Elle est?
Thanks
Nicole
j'ai mangé pendant une heure vs j'ai mangé en une heure.
Do they have the same meaning: I ate within one heure?
Thanks.
Sarah ne faisait pas confiance à Thomas.
Sarah didn't use to trust Thomas. In French can you really express the idea of “used to” (do something) just by using the past imperfect tense (as here)? Or does it need “avoir l’habitude de …” ? Is there a difference in meaning in French? Merci
Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
Why is it "je te l'avais dit" and not "je te l'ai dit!"?
Thanks!
Still unsure about when to use article “le” and days of the week. Could you elaborate more on this idea of specific context, maybe w an example or two?
How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.
