Why did it change from "on" to "nous" in the last sentence? Is it just more common with commands?
Just to be sure. Is it okay if I say,
« Regardez cette fleur. C’est beau, n’est pas? » ?
What is the English for “ je me suis fait avoir comme un bleu.”
If talking about an electric car (fem) why wouldn't I say : c'est moins bruyantE? Correction says bruyant.
I thought I heard on the audio 'On a passé le samedi à nous baigner'. Can you say either se or nous here?
Why is it Allez when it is followed by the tu form of the verb? Why isn’t it Va?
In all other lessons your examples are given in the order of conjugation, which I find enormously helpful. In this one the order jumps all over the place. It's a very minor issue, but could you re-arrange the sentences? Thanks so much.
(1) Can you use "désavantage" which, on the face of it, is the obvious word to use for 'disadvantage'?
(2) Can you use 'pile' instead of 'batterie'?
Or is there some nuance of meaning which I'm overlooking here?
Expressing cause with "Pour (+être) allé" = For going/having gone in French
I am unsure why «pour avoir (past participle)» is sub-headed 'simple expression' and «pour être (past participle)» is sub-headed "complex expression". Is it because the latter lesson also includes reflexives, or am I missing some other complexity with «être»? The lessons and phrases seem otherwise essentially identical, using avoir or être as required by the verb in infinitif passé form.
