My new school bag is blue and yellow
I answered: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune
Kwiziq wanted: Mon nouveau cartable est bleu et jaune
I took the phrase to mean that the bag was brand new, so I used "neuf". Is the phrase ambiguous or am I missing something?
Thanks!
In one of the tests the answer included « choose one or the other. » We would normally say « Choose one or other (of them). » ‘The one’ or ‘the other’, sounds clunky even if grammatical. :)
Quel est le genre grammatical de 'Paris', et pourquoi pas 'à la campagne' au lieu de 'dehors de la capitale' ?
Why is it "je te l'avais dit" and not "je te l'ai dit!"?
Thanks!
Whew! I listened to this section a dozen times and was not anywhere close to that answer!
Maybe consider adding ¨hollywoodien¨ or something similar to the pre-lesson hints...?
Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
I'm super confused about when to put an indefinite article before a noun like dancer, skater, singer. I know you are never supposed to use it when speaking about your profession. Je suis chanteuse. But, what if you are talking about a student. Il est élève? Is student a profession and what if that student does extracurriculars like ice skating? Il est un patineur sur glace or Il est patineur sur glace. How do you say you are a student but you are also a singer or a soccer player or a swimmer.
Dear Céline,
I would be most grateful to know why "du" appears in "Vous vous rappeler du petit restaurant italien ..." and "de" in "Tu te rappelles ton professeur de maths."
Pourquoi est-ce qu'on écrit "ma sœur ou moi allumions une bougie à tour de rôle" C'est seulement une des sœurs qui fait la tâche.. donc , logiquement "allumer" serait au singulier???????
