The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question: "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"
It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).
Does the phrase …..(aller) mieux que…” introduce the subjunctive mood?
For "And I've worked in the same town...", I put "J'ai travaillé dans the la même ville..." but the correct answer is given as "Et je travaille dans la même ville...".
Why is the present conjugation of travailler used instead of the compound tense?
Hi I don't understand why "Tous les enfants partent mais aucun ne prend le train" is correct but
:Tous les enfants partent mais aucun d’entre eux ne prend le train" is not.
THE LESSON SAYS: We can also express none of them using aucun d'entre eux ne ... / aucune d'entre elles ne ..., I understand "aucun d’entre eux/elles" is used with people and les enfants are people. Thanks.
Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Few Qs on this exercise:
1. I'm not entirely sure why the phrase below is in the subjonctif passé - can someone please explain? I had used the subjonctif présent.
Bien que mon père et moi ayons passé du temps à sécuriser les volets cet après-midi-là
2. Given we've just mentioned the night in question, can one not use 'elle' rather than 'ça' in the phrase below?
Quand je pense à cette nuit-là, ça me fait toujours frissonner !
3. What is the difference between rameaux et branches? I had used the former.
Merci!
Nick
Why is it that when you want to say new before the consonants, you say 'nouveau' but when you want to say new hotel, you say "nouvel hotel" because 'h' is a not a vowel
Dans ce texte la prononciation de "la ville" n'est pas de tout claire !
L’expression ci-dessus aurait dû été - en ce qui concerne?
Pourriez-vous clarifier, svp?
Why were my answers marked as wrong? Surely Six millions de dollars & Six milliards de dollars are correct.
I don’t understand how to know whether this refers to a person (WHOM do you miss) or to a thing (WHAT are you missing).
