the lesson says "Adjectives modified by adverbs with 2 or more syllables"
And the lesson made an example:
"Compare these examples with the following counter-example containing a one-syllable adverb:
un très joli manteau
a very pretty coat"
Based on the information the lesson provided, I assumed "une histoire très intéressante" wouldn't be right.
I saw other questions on this, but none really explained the rule.
Is it because besides having one-syllable adverb, the adjective also have to be one of those that are put before the verb?
Wish could explain more how en dans du etc in the example is right for you.. some are obvious.. what if you do not know what is a region city province etc etc.. do not specifically show in beginner questions why exactly your example follows the rule. it is rudimentary boring for you.. else its back to having to memorize what is correct what is not. especially in the beginner examples. so frustrating.
If I am trying to say Amongst all the sports, I like playing ______ the least or I don't like playing _____ the most, which one(s) of the following forms are correct? Is it a superlative with verbs or with nouns?
Je n'aime pas jouer au foot le plus.
J'aime jouer au foot le moins.
J'aime le moins jouer au foot.
Je n'aime pas le plus jouer au foot.
why is it qu'ils finissent and not qu'ils finir ensemble. Isn't the second verb supposed to be infinitive or does the que indicate the beginning of a new sentence?
When should we use "y" and when should we use là for places
Why does “started to cry” use mettre? “ mis a pleurer. Can’t make sense of it
The examples of use of the passive voice use is, will be, would be, was and used to be. Please provide an example of "had been". Is it for example "La souris avait été par le chat"?
On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.
Thank you!
Hi, what triggers the use of the subjunctive “corresponde” in “Avant ce jour béni où tu es entrée dans ma vie, je n'avais jamais imaginé rencontrer quelqu'un qui me corresponde autant que tu me corresponds.”?
