What are cucurbitaces? The translation gives the same word and I can't find it in my dictionary. Thank you!
Bonjour,
I was doing this sentence and since there are two verbs croire and aller I know that you look at the second verb which is aller to determine whether to use peux or puisse and aller is Subjonctif so you use the puisse am I correct?
Maman, papa , croyez- vous que je_____ aller seule au concert samedi sour.
how to pronounce a word in french?
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I supposed to try and read aloud along with it or just listen to it? And somehow, if I hit the pause button in not exactly the same place, I get 2 voices reading at the same time. And it doesn't rewind? I just have to listen straight through?
I used posé in "et j'y ai placé les tranches de pomme" and it says it is wrong. What is the difference between the verbs poser and placer?
I was taught (in both English-taught French classes and by French-speaking people) that the use of 'on' for 'we' was very colloquial and borderline bad grammar. I was baffled by the construction of the sentence using 'we' in English. I'm annoyed to be classified as 'lower intermediate' when I am considerably more advanced than that, even if I'm out of practice. I need to practice, but won't get much if I'm getting questions at this level and being challenged only by a confusing usage.
Based on the lesson ¨Using depuis (since/for) with Le Present and NOT let Passé Composé (prepositions of time)" In a related kwiz I translated the phrase: The Woman in Black has haunted this house for centuries, into : La Dame en Noir hante cette maison depuis des siècles which was incorrect although I used the present tense as stated in the lesson.
The correct form should have been: La Dame en Noir a hanté cette maison depuis des siècles which is using le Passé Composé.
Can someone explain this to me please?
I incorrectly did that with the following sentence
Mais quand ma meilleure amie Miriam a décidé de le faire
