In a recent test question: "In 1515, Francis I won the battle of Marignano." the correct answer was "a gagné" and not "gagne". Why does the "Historical Present" not apply in this case ?https://french.kwiziq.com/questions/view/using-the-present-tense-like-the-past
Thank you! Just a note on the English: it's more idiomatic/natural to say "I get angry easily" (or even in this context "I get annoyed easily"), at least here in the UK.
I would have thought the pastry would have been called "le gâteau" not "le biscuit" --the former is a cake, the latter is a cookie, and a bûche is a kind of cake. Also, do some recipes for la bûche call for spreading ganache inside? I have only read recipes that call for a whipped cream sort of filling, saving the ganache for the exterior. I'm about the make my annual bûche de Noël and wish it were as simple as this version!
What the best way to say "I will not go" in French
I understand that aucun is more emphatic than pas de, but does "Je n'avait pas d'idée ..." not work for this sentence as well? Thank you.
Si on consulte le site web de l'Académie Française, on voit que aout est aussi correct --> https://www.dictionnaire-academie.fr/article/A9A2062
Regarding the question ?How could you say "You need a new bike." ??
I think "devoir" would be acceptable as I perceived the possibility the person used the bike as a necessary form of transportation and the bike was either to broken to repair or was used for work. In that case they would really need to replace the bike making devoir acceptable.
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the questionÉ
