In this exercise the sentence including "pouvoir payer"...why is this not "je ne peux pas?" Also later in the dialogue when referring to M. Duport was his representative, the dialog uses present tense C'est not C'etait. why?
Hello
bonjour à tous, J'habite à Cairo en Egypt
Où habitez vous?
Vous habitez où?
I understood that the french for ' an app' was 'une appli' but this wasn't given as an option. Am I incorrect?
Why is this in the subjunctive?
What word would I use in french to refer to ALL the items on a menu or la carte?
Not categories (like Entrees, Aperitifs, etc.), but the general words
In English, I would say "items" I think, but in French, is
"éléments" right?
Just working on something and was curious!
WRITE THE FOLLOWING TIME IN FRENCH USING MOINS LE QUART. 1. 3:45 2. 20:45 3. 21:45 4. 7:45 5. 23:45
In an exercise I should fill in the following gap:
Mon fils ________ aller aux toilettes.
I choose "envie d'" but the solution seems to be "a besoin d'". But one example in the lesson about "Avoir envie de = To feel like, want to (Avoir envie de = To feel like, want to (French Expressions with avoir))" is:
J'ai envie d'aller aux toilettes !I need to go to the toilets!So I would like to know, if both are correct. And if not, how do I choose the right one?
Best regards,
Martin
My french teacher was saying something that sounded like "oo ka duke" today and I don't know what he was saying. It was something to do with either grammer or maybe even something outside of french and just about language. Idk. Any guesses are appreciated (I'm A1/2 level, maybe this is very basic).
I've been told by a well-trained French teacher to never begin a sentence with "cependant." He said to use "bien que." Has this rule been superseded?
Thanks!
