It seems a bit harsh to be marked wrong for merely omitting an apostrophe. I wrote quelle fasse and not qu'elle fasse which I thought was almost correct.
In the example At that time, she lived with Julien.
A cette epoch means to me a specific action completed in the past, so I used the passe' compose. It was marked wrong in place of using the imparfait, which is supposed to be continuing action. So I am confused or is it a matter of interpretation?
Would "absent" work?
I get what this article is saying but I'm still confused of what my book said:
ex:
Vous avez passé la journee a la plage, les garcons?
A la plage? Non! Nous, on a fait du skate avec des copains.
In here, why was 'on' before 'nous'?
can we say that
Est-ce que vous connaissez Pierre? Oui, il est bon etudiant
normally nouns need "articles". but "il" can use without an article for giving an opinion about something mentioned.As you can see There is a noun in the sentence.I am curious about whether it is correct or not?
In the first phrase you use encore for « still » and did not give toujours as an alternative. Laura Lawless in the article on thèse words says “ When talking about something that still exists or is still happening, toujours is the better option.". Why is toujours wrong here?
Hi,
"chat" is a masculine noun in French, but can I use it to refer to my female cat?
When I'm talking about her, e.g. my cat is going to eat her breakast, do I still say
"Mon chat vas manger son petit-dejeuner?"
What is the best way of talking about my female cat in this context?
Sometimes Kwizik worry too much about spelling. I wrote c;est instead of c'est and it is marked wrong. Something I would never do when writing long hand. Stop treating us like children!!!!!!
Is it right to say "il n'y est pas" for "he is not there"
