I am unclear on the meaning of two phrases within this test (Google translate didn't help too much)
1. un coup de soleil carabiné
2. sache que j'en bave vraiment
Could someone explain the meaning of these? Thanks
Hi, could you say a few words about “qui que ce soit”. Is this a special construction of some kind?
I think i heard more words in this sentence- please clarify.
Would it be wrong to say "il y rentre" instead of the corrected answer in the test " il y retourne"?
Since the beginning of the festivities is a precise and limited event, I thought this would use passe compose "ont commencees." Can someone help me understand why this is imperfait?
And the last sentence: J'ai toujour trouve ca magique," I had thought this would be imparfait since it's ongoing and indefinite.
Could someone please help give me an example in negative form? I would like to understand if the du has to change to de.
Ex Paul will never hurt me (both physically and emotionally)?
For "I believe that it would enrich my life" the only correct alternative given for "believe" is "je pense". Is there a subtle reason that "je crois" would not be as appropriate in this particular context?
(Also there is a rogue full-stop that has snuck in between "horizon" and "en ouvrant" in the second sentence of the exercise)
Why is the form "le + day of the week" used in this exercise? I thought that form was reserved for habitual activities done on a specific weekday, but since it's a vacation it seems like they're telling us what they are doing in the upcoming week only.
In this example, why is the answer not sortir?
Thank you
