What about laid/laide (ugly) ? Does it come before a noun or after?
What about haut/haute (high) and bas/basse (low) ? Do they come before a noun or after?
Regarding the position of interrogative particles, such as 'quand' in:
"Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?"
I can't recall exactly which previous lesson(s) touched upon this, but can one shift 'quand' to other positions, such as:
"Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé?"
"Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé quand?"
Can someone tell me what the difference between trop de(too much) and tant de(so much) is? I know the meanings of both , but unsure how to use them in sentences.
These sentences are so similar that I don't understand why one uses "avoir" and the the other "etre." Don't they both have a direct object? "He walked down (the boulevard)", and "she went up (the hill)". I'm missing something!
Il ________ descendu le boulevard St Michel.
Elle ______ montee la colline.
I have great difficulty in deciding whether to use l'imperfait or parfait in translations and am surprised to see that both are acceptable in the sentence 'He wrote beautiful lyrics'. The imperfect is the preferred translation but the perfect is given as an alternative translation.
Two options offered in answers for the last sentence. When do we use suivre de (qqch) and when suivre (qqch)? Thank you
You example : Sam fait de l'aïkido. Sam does aikido. How can you explain the right answer as ".... going to dance lesson..."?
