Can a translation be found of this afterwards?
According to Wordreference - a secondary school teacher in France - collège ou lycée is enseignant/enseignante - a professeur is one that teaches at university as well. In this Writing Challenge you used professeur.
Does it work ?? is it true in both ways?
ne me donne pas
ne donne pas à moi?
thank you so much for your help
You'll take your cousin to the party is gives as 'Tu ameneras ta cousine a la fete'. In all the dictionaries I have consulted, Amener means 'to bring', Emmener means 'to take'. In English these are two quite distinct actions. 'To take' implies that the taker and the taken are both at Point A and are going to Point B. To bring implies that the person being brought is at Point A, and the person speaking is at Point B. Duolingo never got the hang of this. You' ll take your cousin to the party should be 'Tu emmeneras ta cousine a la fete'. Or are amener and emmener synonymous?
Hi! Could anyone elaborate on why "à part" is incorrect au lieu que "séparément" as well as "poursuivre" for "continuer"? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I am doing the A1 reading passage for the Cher journal and the sentence I'm confused on is. Il me reste des crosissants du weekend.
I know il me reste is a direct object sentence but not sure how the meaning of the word reste is used here.
I think it means he has leftover croissants?
Thanks
Nicole
I notice that none of the example sentences say where the person is going to, 'Je m'en vais à la plage', for example. Is that because no-one uses s'en aller with an indirect object like that? Or if they do, how would the meaning differ from 'Je vais à la plage' or 'Je pars à la plage'? (I'm wondering if it's a bit like 'I'm outa here' (I am out of here); you'd never say 'I'm outa here to the beach'.)
