Is there a difference between cafétéria and cantine? Can you use "cantine" here?
Why was l'imparfait used? I thought lepassé composé would be a best fit for the sentence.
I know il/elle are pronouns - which stands in for a noun. So, if you are referring to a specific noun, then you use the pronoun: "où est mon frère? Il est dans sa chambre." However, "ce" is a demonstrative adjective. Maybe, c'est is an abbreviated way of saying "this thing/person is... So "C'est mon frère" is like saying "This (person) is my brother." I don't know if this way of thinking will work for all examples, but I hope I am on the right track.
What is
Nous nous appelons?
And when do we use this?
Bonjour, s'il vous plaît je besoind de voir mon niveau si possible, sur an examen
"Les enfants demande à leur mère de leur raconter ce qu'ils doivent manger pour être forts. "
Can anyone tell me whether the expression is être fort or être forts?? Or if both are acceptable, then when should I use each form?
I took the quiz and got the answer wrong when I put 'Qu' est' instead of 'Quel est' – so I'm slightly confused because I thought that it should be Qu' since est starts with a vowel?
Why is the first sentence in imparfait - he only went on one business trip?
Why is the second sentence in passe compose - she had tears in her eyes all day long?
quand Samuel était en voyage d'affaires à Bruxelles.
j'ai eu les larmes aux yeux toute la journée !
