Why is "c'est bon" used here instead of "elle est bonne", when it's expressing opinion over something specific that you know the gender of already?
When you keep your normal statement followed by quoi at the end
-Tu fais quoi?
Can you replace it with comment
-Tu fais comment?
In the short video, the examples of a "le haricot" as an aspirated "H" and "l'hotel" as a silent "H" are given. I really cannot hear a difference. It seems to me that "Haricot" is pronounced as "aricot" without an unaspirated "H". The same for "La hache". At least, they are not pronounced as we pronounce an "H" in the English "Help" for example. So, that's what I am asking for, some "Help".
Doesn't "s'attendre à ce que" take the subjunctive? Or is there an exception in this case that wasn't noted in the lesson? Attendre quelqu'un vs s'attendre à quelque chose = to wait vs to expect in French
Does "avec eux" refer back to "réunions"? If so, shouldn't you use avec "elles"? Also, Je suis sûre qu'"elles" (meetups) pourront t'aider...
I've found this lesson quite difficult! The first set of examples ("Look at ..."), and most of the rest, sound very odd in English, and it's only Gruff's answer from five years ago that makes it clear that the phrase or sentence would not normally stand alone. Could more (or all) of the examples be made to make this clear? Also, in the first couple of examples (where there is an introductory sentence), the English translation is "... must have ..." and everywhere else it's "... will have ...". I think that the 'must' is wrong, but it's at least confusing! Hoping to help ...
PS
I now see that a similar discussion about contextual examples has taken place and been acted upon in the companion lesson (on irregular participles).
Good evening,
Is there a way of moving multiple items(lessons) from one notebook to another? Once I have completed tests on certain subjects, I want to move them out of my main notebook and into a different one, so I'm only tested on the things I really need to learn quickly. Is there a way of doing of this without going into each individual lesson and moving it from there?
Many thanks,
Emma
