From what i gather "Un vieux parchemin" would be correct. Why is "Un extrêmement vieux parchemin" incorrect? Thank you.
I understand the use of the conditional but why is it not acceptable to have "arriverait" instead of "serait"?
Hello! I still don’t get what this quote in the lesson means:
“Note that for regular -IR verbs, the je/tu/il/elle/on forms of le Passé Simple are exactly the same as for le Présent. The context will help you know which tense is intended in thoses cases.”
Is the point being made that “Je dormis” both carries the meaning “I slept” as well as “I sleep” or “I am sleeping?”
Rien de tel qu’un bon repas après tous ces efforts !
Could this be homonymically rendered :
Rien de tel qu’un bon repas après tous ses efforts ! meaning after ones efforts
Hello! Is there a difference between "Vous voulez une glace?" and "Voulez-vous une glace?" I thought that questions had to be done with inversions. Thank you!
Why does J'ai rendez-vous not have an article
This lesson states you use either en or l' ; but it does not provide any rules for usage.
Are they interchangable? Can I use either to say "In winter, I go skiing."
En hiver, je vais skier.
L'hiver, je vais skier.
If faire du cheval means "I'm horseback riding", who would one say "I am taking horseback riding lessons"?
I almost never get an answer to my questions, but I will try once more. I learned that ," J'ai mal a la tete" meant "My head hurts," or "I have a headache, (sorry but don't know the keystrokes here to get accent symbols). Now, in this exercise, it's using "faire" rather than "avoir" to express physical discomfort, but the answer concenrates only on the use of possessive adjectives, not the strange change from "avoir" to "faire." I feel frustrated and very confused. Help!
Ok let's clear this up...I am constantly getting the wrong one...what is the rule...please...Javio
