Hello everyone,
So, I do know that when it comes to emotions, you're going to use the imparfait. But what about if it's a one-time thing? For example: I saw her yesterday at the supermarket and she was very upset.
It's a one-time thing and maybe it lasts a little bit, and she'll be over it quickly. Would you still use the imparfait?
Just to let you know, the text option that reads “Te souviens-tu du jour” actually has the audio “Te souviens-tu le jour”.
Maybe there are regional differences, but I would not say "I am going to see with (Julie), but etc etc" as it is used in the sentence in this exercise. That would be "I am going to check with Julie, but . . . " or "I am going to see what Julie says/thinks, but. . . .".
It reads to me as if the literal translation from the French expression "Je vais voir avec Julie, mais ..." has been used here, but it doesn't sound right (to me) in English.
"I am going to see with Julie, but . . " would indicate something along the lines of 'keeping an eye on her', 'giving her a chance to' etc
ive obviously missed something, but why do we need les here when tous means all (ofthem)?
Salute,
Recently I came across with the phrase le tour de magie, here tour is meaning trick, is that right? Would it be useful to include this meaning as well at this lesson?
Bonsoir
Hi,
I was wondering what the word neologism means. You said the French Academy considers La professeure a neologism. What would neologism mean for that?
thanks
