In the quiz question
Mon frère, ________ la femme est prof, est architecte.
I originally put 'dont', then second-guessed myself and wrote 'de qui'. I was marked wrong. But in the lesson it states that de qui is also correct, just much less common.
So shouldn't it also be accepted as an answer?
This is a trick, isn't it. That 'to inhabit' is a synonym for 'to live in' in English is exploited here. Damn you.
Bonjour à tous et à toutes
Est-ce que quelqu'un peut me dire quelle est la différence entre les deux phrases suivantes svp:
Martin aime bien Sarah
Sarah plaît à Martin
I'm sure there must be some subtle difference!
Merci,
Nick
Salut,
I find the story line a bit strange..... the story seems to be about the guy learning about "authentic" Chinese food, but the food practices in the rest of the story was also quite "off". It doesn't bother me so much even as someone from that culture as the goal here is the French practice. I'd just read it as something written without much knowledge....
If you ever decide to make the story line more consistent, Tsingtao is a much more popular Chinese beer than Tiger, which is a Thai beer. And I guess the digestif is acceptable if it's a must for a French customer, haha, even though it's not so common culturally.
Thanks for reading.
Hello,
I know that the reflexive verb introduction is in the A1 level but, when should one learn about the passive and subjective pronominals?
Thanks
Nicole
Bonjour
Can we use il est né le dimanche
Il est né un dimanche
Which one is correct? And why?
Line 7: My answer of vingt-huit was marked incorrect compared to Kwizbot's answer of ving-huit - no 't' at the end of vingt.
My french teacher once told me that J'adore was too strong. That you would never say it to someone you know in a romantic way. She said it was so strong in fact that it was kind of stalkery. She said it should be used for inanimate objects or like a celebrity that you're a fan of. Is she correct?
"à tout ce que l'avenir leur réservait": I translate this for myself as "all the future will hold for them". To me it is counterintuitive to use a past tense (even continuous past tense) for events occuring in the future. Please help me make sense of this use of the imparfait.
If "brun" is for fur, skin, and hair, why are the dogs and the mouse "marron"?
