Queries pertaining to grammatical concepts Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I have been attempting tests at Kwiziq and have faced a few problems which I would like to ask here-
1. C’est le mois d’avril et il a commencé ______ faire très chaud.
Here, would the answer be “à/de” ? How to judge when to use “commencer à / “commencer de” ?
2. Regarde cet arbre sans fruits. Mais _________ qui est devant nous en a beaucoup.
Here, which of the following is grammatically accurate - celui-ci /celui ? I opted for “celui-ci” but the answer was “celui”. Why, Madame ?
3.J’ai vu quelque chose dans ton sac.
To form the negative of the sentence which is correct -
Je n’ai vu rien/rien vu dans ton sac.
This is not highlighted in the lesson- Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations)
4. Ces hommes parlent sans cesse.
To form a question would we write-
Qui parle/ Qui parlent sans cesse ?
Merci encore Madame Cécile pour votre aide continuel.
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
Why is "le proffeseur n'aime que lui" wrong (correct: elle) when "Pauline n'aime que lui" is a correct example?
Hi, could you please explain the difference in using y/là/là-bas
For example,
I'm going to the beach tonight
Je vais y aller ce soir
Je vais aller là ce soir
Je vais aller là-bas ce soir
Is there a difference in these phrases?
Correct answer is Tout
Just clarification, Tout here means everything, that's why it is tout not tous? Can tout (as a pronuon) be used as a stand alone subject ?
I don’t think the English translation is quite right for this sentence - to draw the maps of these two rooms. In architecture we would say “to produce the plans of these to rooms”.
A map is something you use when you’re out hiking.
Le Musée de l’Orangerie is a magical place to visit.
"you will use the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses (its/one's here)."
" possessive pronouns agree in gender and number with the *owned* item (son billet / sa carte / ses parents)."
Not a major issue but referred to by different names in short succession... maybe the term adjective pronouns ?? .. or a sentence to show that they are indeed called by either name.
Also are 'ses' 'leurs' completely interchangeable?
________ arrogance est insultante.Your arrogance is insulting.HINT: Use the 'tu' form
Arrogance est une mot féminin, alors, le correct est >, pas?
In a couple of academic articles I'm reading which are written in French, equations are numbered things like: "(2.1)" for "equation 1 from section 2", "(5.15)" for "equation 15 from section 5", etc. How would one pronounce these numbers? For instance in English, I would pronounce "(2.1)" as "two point one" and "(5.15)" as "five point 15".
