Good morning,
How do I insert accents while doing a dictation exercise?
J’adore Kwiziq depuis que je l’ai découvert et je remercie toute l’équipe pour leur travail acharné. MAIS je m’étonne beaucoup de ce que les fautes faites par les contributeurs ne soient pas corrigées par quelqu’un de plus compétent. Par exemple ce matin, j’ai lu avec horreur la phrase: » je seraiS rentré chez moi quand je t’appeLerai. ». Je m’inquiète pour ceux qui ne sont pas français.
Hi,
Can you kindly explain the use of the preposition in the following sentence.
In a phrase 'je t'aime de tout mon cœur' that translates to 'I love you with all my heart', why do we use preposition DE to express WITH rather more commonly use AVEC.
Kind regards, Kirill
Why we have "Je donne de l'argent" and not "Je donne l'argent"
It says here that we don’t use en for de + people, but we use stress pronouns. I know when to use EN, but sometimes I struggle to decide whether to use stress pronouns or COI, because they are both for people, and COI is for indirect objects, so basically it can be used for verbs with DE as well? I know few examples where we always use COI, like parle de, penser.. but, other than that I am never sure.Thanks
Est-ce plus correct à dire "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les a lavées aussi" ou "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les est lavées aussi"?
Where to use vieux and vielle and naveau and nouvelle
A post further down says "soit..soit is used when followed by anything other than a verb". I’ve just done a quiz elsewhere where the answer they wanted was "Soit tu mets du déodorant, soit je te quitte"! Is this a usage that exists but isn’t good French? If so, what’s a better way to express it? I can’t imagine "soit que" is very common and "que" + subjunctive verb seems to be a yes/no situation (eg que tu le mettes ou pas) rather than offering two alternative verbs.
Thank you.
Should it not be 'avant qu'on ne parte'?
Regards
