are both ok?
Hi -
I was trying to work out how you would say 'if the weather is good, we can take a walk in the park'. From the above it looks I can either use Se Promener or Faire une Promenade, but im not sure how to combine these with Pouvoir. I assume using 'Faire' it would be:
-s'il fait beau, nous pouvons faire une promenade dans le parc.
1) Is this correct?
2) Is there a way of saying this using the reflexive verb/conjugation with se promoner?
Thank you :)
Hi,
I made several errors with my phrasing choices and was wondering if any of the following could have been correct:
1. Shouldn't the prompt for " Et tu as trouvé ça difficile" be "and did you find that difficult?" - since it's referring to the reading of a book in french, not the book itself? Wouldn't the translation of "did you find it [the book] difficult? " be "Et tu l'as trouvé difficile?"2. It was quite difficult and daunting at times - Could you use bien instead of plutôt/assez to mean quite?
3. Could you said "je compte desormais lire un livre en français plusieurs fois par an."?
Thanks!
On ________ passés par là ? Did we pass this way?
the answer is On siesta passes par la? Why isn't it On est passé par là?
The plural passes seems wrong to me.
Since the paragraph was using 'on' consistently, I chose "On y va ..." instead of "Allons-y ...". Why is this wrong?
I am curious as to the agreement of the adjective “délicieuses” in the dictation-surely it is the noun “l’air” rather than “moules” which it has to agree with? In other words, “the mussels look delicious”.
Is it true that unlike mentioned in this lesson, Faux/Fausse can also come after the noun? And when it does come after, it has to mean "wrong". (..instead of "fake/false")?
- J'ai tapé un code faux et ma carte est bloquée.
- Malgré quelques réponses fausses, j'ai réussi l'examen.
Are the primary and secondary conjugations dans le présent common to one French-speaking country or another or are they newer/older versions?
On a writing exercise (Cette Semaine) was asked to translate : On Monday, I went shopping with my son. My response - Lundi, j'ai fait les magasins avec mon fils. It didn’t match answers given - Lundi, je suis allé faire les magasins avec mon fils. Is there anything wrong with my answer? Went shopping is translated similarly here.
