I am confused about an answer. The sentence 'Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis long temps' was marked incorrect and ´Tu n'habites pas ici depuis long temps' given as the correct answer. But in the corresponding lesson we are told that in an affirmative sentence with 'depuis' you use present tense but if it is a negative sentence, you use passé composé. Where am I going wrong?
Can we not translate 'palace' by 'palais'?
I recently ran across a guideline which contradicts the quiz sentence "Il est venu pour voir Sarah" associated with this lesson!!
'Venir' is purportedly one of the verbs which does not take ANY preposition before the following infinitive when the context is 'come 'to do 'action of the infinitive' ! So he came to do what.. to see Sarah! So (according to that guideline ) the preposition 'pour' is at least superfluous here if not invalid! Please clarify.
I know that se sentir and aller identical. But in this exercise it does not work.
Franck________ en pleine forme.
Answer: se sent
Franck va en pleine forme. It is false. I wonder why it is incorrect?
...as “which respect all the norms”. I’d translate this as “which are in accordance with all the standards”. Also, I’d say “glare protection standards” instead of “glare protection norms”.
Hi there Could you use the verb " jouir" to mean enjoy in this sentance as well ? "Nous avons joui de chaque minute"
Sincerely
Una
What is the difference between: "nulle part" et "aucune part"? In answered, "Je ne les trouve aucune part." as the translation for "I don't find them anywhere." I had written "nulle part", but then changed it to "aucune part" because I thought it was more accurate for "anywhere" (as opposed to "nowhere").
Great topic (though I had to Google "Brabant")!
