I understand from the disucssion that you can use depuis with the present tense or passé composé but I have this question:
Depuis quand est-ce que vous êtes vous mariés ? ( a point in time in the past)
Asking a person who is married how long they've been married (and still are): Vous êtes vous mariés depuis 30 ans? (Past tense so does this mean they're no longer married?) or, should you say, Vous êtes mariés depuis 40 ans? (still married).
This always trips me up so thank you ahead of time for your help!
Isn't the causative always to or for the subject of the verb?
Is it not acceptable here to say 'Cherchez-vous'?
Referring to “vous adorerez cette autre idée : modifier un pyjama en flannelle défraîchi.”
for
“you will love this other idea: making alterations to a pair of faded flannel pyjamas.”
I can only find “flanelle” (one “n”, not two) in the dictionaries. And this is a female noun. So should these answers all be “…en flanelle défraîchie.”?
C'est quoi la différence entre "les moments que" et "les moments où" ?
"Par an" et "par année" ?
Merci à l'avance.
This is the first B2 listening exercise that I have transcribed perfectly. Thanks for so many interesting dictées which keep me interested and motivated.
I think I hear a new addition to the group. Very clear!
Is this an error? Or is "se maria" an actual phrase. I thought it should be "se marie".
I'm also wondering why it is not "s'est mariée". That's the phrase I would have used.
... car le bureau de poste local n'offrait plus ce service.
In this section of the sentence the 'S' at the end of 'pluS' is pronounced. This seems at odds with the lesson 'Ne ... plus = no more/no longer' which states: -
Note that when plus has a negative meaning (no more), you don't pronounce the final 's', except when you do the liaison with a vowel following ('z' sound).
... in the exercise plus is followed by 'ce' and 'ce' does not start with a vowel and as such should not be pronounced?
