"Je n'ai jamais rien dit!" is an example sentence, and there is a quiz question that tests this.
Just wondering if there is a rule explaining why it is incorrect to say "Je n'ai jamais dit rien!" ?
Why is mets pronounced May instead of Meh? in the lesson A1 le jour de Noël?
OK, after ten minutes of work I *think* I finally found the answer in 2b (it might have been 2a — I can’t look while typing this) of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French
My question was how to decide between ce and elle. I *think* the answer is that this is a general statement of opinion. It would be nice if the first answer marked with the green checkmark as a correct answer were the one that contains a link to the lesson/article including this information. Actually it would be nice if that answer contained links to the other related articles as well.
Note that the first answer marked with the green checkmark is NOT correct. More accurately, it is ONLY correct if one encounters this question in the context of a lesson. When one encounters the question as part of a « Test Now » set of ten questions for level A1 (as I did, of course) there is no lesson context to tell you to use ce instead of ça. That wasn’t my problem, but it was not helpful to encounter that « correct answer » while trying to solve my issue.
In the lesson it states:
"When last time is followed by a clause (last time I saw you), you can only use la dernière fois, and never la fois dernière."
but there is a question that asks "_______, Henri est venu me voir." ("Last time, Henri came to see me") One would assume the answer would be "La dernière fois," but that was not listed as an option for multiple choice.
Instead, it says that the answer is "La fois dernière" (the other multiple choice answers are: Dernière fois/ Fois dernière/ Une dernière fois). Is this because there is a comma, so "Henri came to see me" does not count as a clause following "Last time,"?
To me, according to the lesson, it seems like "It was the last time that you told me you loved me" and "It was last time that you told me you loved me" could both be acceptable answers for this phrase. The lesson says to use "la dernière fois" to mean "last time" when it's followed by a clause. Is it not followed by a clause in this case - "que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais" - and therefore could mean "It was last time" as well as "It was the last time"?
The lesson indicateed Don't be afraid as "N'aie pas peur" but in test this was not accepted, only "N"ayez pas peur"
In the lecture, you have the following three sentences
Mes amis, merci à tous d'être venus.
Sarah, merci d'être venue.
Paul, merci d'être venu.
In all these three sentences, "Mes amis", "Sarah", and "Paul" are NOT the objects of the verb "venir", so even they are proceeds of the verb, why should the verb venir have to in agreement with "Mes amis", "Sarah", and "Paul"?
Your spelling of the month in what you say is the correct answer is incorrect.
Why was my answer: "Je vais parler sans que vous m'interrompions." The answer you were looking for was: " Je vais parler sans que tu m'interrompes." It was not specified in the question whether to use tu or vous.
Bonjour!
Will this be the negation of the following?
Simple tense : n'en + [verb] pas+ [number]
Close Future : n' aller + en pas+ [infinitive] + [number]
Compound tense : n'en + [auxiliary] pas+ [past participle] + [number]
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide :)
