Can you use s’intéresser à instead of être intéressé de?
Hi, a “rewind 10 seconds”, or something similar, would add great value to this exercise type. Currently, I need to re-listen to the whole audio just to try to catch a single word I’ve missed (and I need to do this many times).
Dear Aurelie and team
Could I use the expression "tenir au courant" instead of "prevenir" for the following phrase
"Tu me teniras au courant s'ils arrivent en retard, d'accord"
Thank you Una
I was wondering why it's "de" and not "des" in this sentence? I know that if there was an adjective before "cartes," then you'd use "de" (de bonnes cartes), but I can't figure out why it is used here instead of "des". Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.
Why does "de" follow "je dois" and precede "avoir" in this sentence?
Agreed. Both choices are corrrect and depend on the context. The same would apply when using ancienne. One could say "mon ancienne voiture" or "ma voiture ancienne", depending on the circumstances. Is it my old car or my prior car?
Hi - Could someone explain why the phrase 'mais elle a toujours aimé cet instrument' is in the perfect tense and not the imperfect? Doesn't the sentence imply that her 'liking' the instrument has no definite time frame and there is no indication of when or if she ever stopped 'liking' the accordion? I also have the same question as Drew and Maren regarding 'mais elle l'a réussi' as an alternative answer to 'mais elle l'a eu'. Thanks!
Le mot "printannière" n'est pas "printanière"?
Pouquoi le mot "regorgeant" ne s'accorde pas avec le nom féminin "la carte"? J'ai écrit : "de la carte regorgeante de plats".
Just wondered if we can say "Il faisait froid tout hier soir" to emphasize "all night long"(though it doesn't seems correct to me).
