Pourquoi on utilise comme elle ne doit pas sortir. Pourquoi pas ainsi que où pour que ?
Hi, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, "Je suis déjà passé chez le pharmacien mais les anti-douleurs qu'il m'a donnés n'ont malheureusement fait aucun effet."
Does "passé chez le pharmacien" mean to actually stop in and consult with the pharmacist, rather than simply passing by the store? This would indicate that passer has more complex meaning in this type of situation. Please advise.
Why is "en" used in this clause in the 4th paragraph:
For the English "He put his hands in his pockets." I wrote "Il met les mains dans ses poches." however, it was corrected to "Il met les mains dans les poches.".
This doesn't seem correct to me however I cannot find the example again in the exercises.
Would anybody be able to advise?
I swear I hear "deux dernieres annees" I sure don't hear "nuits" Am I the only one?
Hi,
tout le monde a les yeux fermés can somebody please help what form of fermer was using in this sentence?
Because of the 'hint' that 'the action was completed' I changed my initial answer from 'Ce Noel etait' to 'Ce Noel a ete' - but I find it's 'etait' in the above version.
I also had used the word 'etincelantes' but this was scored out and replaced with 'brillantes'.
This is by no means the first time that similar things have happened and I'm a bit peeved that I've had to mark myself down needlessly.
Thanks so much for the link Chris. Unfortunately I could not find "avoir" in this list. Should it be added, or am I misinterpreting something?
...“et de lui acheter”. It seems to function like “et en lui acheter”, but for some reason “de” is the correct choice here.
