This question was asked in a TV show I watched today: “…mais est-ce que lui voudra te voir?” My question is why is lui used instead of il?
Does envoyer a (with accent) take lui or leur instead of le, la or les? Thank you!!
Would it be, then, "je mange plein de chocolat" or "plein de chocolats"? "Plein de pomme de terre" or "plein de pommes de terre"? Thanks in advance.
Question 1) Comment se sont passées vos vacances ? Should it not have the final 'es' ?
Query 2) If a question is asked using the past tense, can the reply be in the imparfait?
I am confused about the questions regarding Sentir bon and Se sentir bien. For example the sentence ‘I smell good’ can refer to two different things in English. ‘My sense of smell is good’, or ‘I physically smell good.’ How do we know which the question is being asked when the question is posed in English to be translated into French. I believe there would be a difference in translation, am I correct in this thought?
Would "À bientôt !" be an acceptable answer?
The lesson says Quoi? is a bit abrupt. I did not think one would wish to abrupt to someone who said, "I love you," to me! In the test, you said Comment? was wrong.
In England, if you ask 95% of the populace if they use the word 'whom' they will look at you with a puzzled expression. Stop confusing french learners with this extinct conundrum. Move on
Should we are going to Portugal be nous allons au Portugal or nous allons dans le Portugal.
Why is it "était DE" here? Why is the "DE" used ?
