Hello,
Just curious, why is peu de used for friends since they are countable (or should it not be lol)
Or both are accepted?
I have a few friends - j'ai quelques amis
i have few friends - j'ai peu d'amis
Should this be "il l'a oublié"? It sounds weird without a direct object for oublier.
Paul should have left earlier is given as 'Paul aurait du partir plus tot'.
I could have learnt to swim is given as 'J'aurais pu apprendre a nager'
These are exactly the same constructions, therefore they can not both be correct.
(Apologies for the absence of diacritic marks)
Is this 2nd person plural? And if it is why is it for a singular person?
Why is is imparfait used in this sentence? L'écureuil allait plus vite que lui... I would have considered the phrase part of the story chronology-- not background/description. Or should I "translate" it as The squirrel was faster than him... since it is a comparison of speed? Merci?
Can puis be used instead of ensuite. As this was not presented as a correct alternative.
mais 'puis' je me suis réveillé, et ce n'était qu'un rêve !
