She says, 'L'endroit qui m'a le plus marqué...' - why not 'marquée'?
Looking at the answers tells me that this was an exercise about ‘faire mal’ and ‘faire du mal’ but my use of the verb ‘blesser’ was correct. Wasn’t it? Maybe I shouldn’t use blesser in this context. Correction welcome.
How do I say there will be sun tomorrow?
J'ai mangé un septième des pommes or J'ai mangé le septième des pommes
which one is true?
Could "de" be used here instead of "en" ? Any thoughts?
Laura Lawless' translation of this Anglo-Norman maxim ("Honi soit qui mal y pense") from about.com, cited on the relevant Wikipedia page, is, "Shamed be whoever thinks ill of it" or, more usually, "Shame on anyone who thinks evil of it".
How might one say in Anglo-Norman, "Shame on anyone who thinks no evil of it"? Add "ne" after "mal", perhaps?
C'était tout ce à quoi je m'intéressais.
Why à quoi? Why not auquel since it's s'intéresser à [qch] ?
Thank you!
English speakers don't say, "It's equal to me but we DO say, "It's all the same to me," and "If it's all the same to you, then..." That strikes me as the corresponding equivalent, based on my vast knowledge gained from levels A0, A1 and A2!
One of the quizzes has a sentence: La Castafiore faints (s'évanouir) all the time.
This question is totally unrelated to reflexive verbs, but I can't figure out what La Castafiore is. Can you give a little history on this noun, please? I enjoy picking up a little non-grammar knowledge from time to time. Thanks.
I can’t find how to reference multiple days together, is there an example?
“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6.” which of the following is correct?
Le lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Les lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures
or
Le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi je me lève à six heures
Thanks
Jon
