Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”
Hi, in “Les filles, soyez gentilles et partagez vos affaires.” the audio for “gentilles” sounds incorrect.
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Khyatee, mais je me fais appeler Kat.
I believe it's right but I'm not sure how to specify that Kat is a nickname/preferred name.
I am not sure if this is perhaps different with American English but as someone from the UK this sounds like Anne and Antoine are in the process of going somewhere to walk their dog e.g. in their car driving to a forest. It does not imply that they are in the process of actually walking their dog. I agree that there is a subtlety specifically with the question which is that the phrase includes "with their dog" but the "are going for" implies that they are not actually yet walking their dog but intend to go for a walk with their dog. For instance if I were to say "I am going shopping to buy some food" it means that I am not actually in the process of doing the shopping. Can you please clarify if "se promènent" is the actual current act of doing something or describing the intention to do the act?
....since it' not implied "brand new"
What the best way to say "I will not go" in French
Hi,
Can you kindly explain the use of the preposition in the following sentence.
In a phrase 'je t'aime de tout mon cœur' that translates to 'I love you with all my heart', why do we use preposition DE to express WITH rather more commonly use AVEC.
Kind regards, Kirill
