Is it a rule to remove the definite article 'le' in Superlatives while using Possessive Adjectives?
Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.
and not 'le pire' / 'le plus mauvais' ennemi?
Or 'Il est mon meilleur ami.' - even though 'le meilleur' is not used, it is implied with Possessive Adjectives?
Hi, I use this app a lot (every day) for French grammar. I was doing the excersise and in a little bit confused on when to use a ‘!’ and ‘?’ in the phrase that’s being read to me. How do I know when to use them because if it’s a robot, they don’t talk with a high pitched voice when there's an exclamation mark and have a confused tone when there’s a question mark in the sentence. I’m sorry if this is confusing, I’m not the best writer, but if you hopefully understand what I’m trying to say, please kindly explain the answer to my question. Thank you
Can't find a unifying rule for both these. Shouldn't it. Either:
Jolie sac & bleu robe
Or:
Sac Jolie & robe bleue
I wrote "Oui, on a papoté pendant une heure." instead of "Oui, on a discuté/bavardé pendant une heure." It marked it as incorrect. I think bavardé is closer than discuté for 'chatted', but I feel like 'papoté' suits well for the context. Am I wrong?
Why us GOT? I realise that "I've got"is frequently used by English speakers, but I've is a contraction of "I have", therefore the use of Got in the sentence is unnecessary, and poor English.
How do you know the y in the beginning of a word is being used as a vowel or consonant??
Is this also the correct way of framing inversion questions with Object Pronouns??? -
1. L’Aimes-tu? / L'aimez-vous? [Do you like him/her?]
2. Lui parles-tu souvent? / Lui parlez-vous souvent? [Do you speak to him/her often?]
3. Les avez-vous vus? / Les avez-vous vues? [Have you seen them?]
Is the above way more formal, than the intonation method used in this lesson?
