For "I usually sit down in a corner" I wrote "D'habitude, je m'assois dans un coin". None of the four suggested solutions included "D'habitude" (or variants). Was I just plain wrong?
Thanks in advance.
It seemed to me the subj.present verb 'travaille' had the ''subject je so the qui/que was providing the object, hence I chose que, but apparently the answer is qui. See also tips in the above lesson, since it is followed by je shouldn't it be que?
the audio for the following phrase is faster than normal. its literally 2x the speed Vous avez les mêmes yeux.
You have the same eyes.when speaking, would après avoir sound like 'aprèsavoir' - I thought we should link such words, (hearing the 's') but the reader did not in this case.
This question relates to the use of avoir vs prendre in one of the test questions for the subjonctif linked to this forum.
Question: "Ils n'auront pas de dessert à moins qu'ils ne fassent leurs lits".
I thought when talking about having a meal or a drink etc. the verb "prendre" was used - not avoir?
Bonjour,
I understand that reflexive verbs are used like in english like "myself, yourself, ect" but I don't understand how some of the examples above are actually doing something to oneself. For example, above it says Le prisonnier s'échappe de la prison. How is this an action to oneself? To escape oneself?? Or how about "Nous nous étonnons de ses bonnes notes."? We amaze ourselves? Why is it a reflexive verb and not just conjugated in le present? Thank you!
