They say there are no stupid questions. They were wrong in this case
the 4 min video with Jennifer states "Use il est with an adjective".
It completley ignores the other 50% of the rule, when you use C'est with an adjective
When is future proche used in a sentence.
When is Aller used in the future
Bonjour. Je m'appelle Ella et je viens de Nigeria
Bonjour,
Would it be correct to say
Une belle robe
A pretty dress
Un bel Enfant
A beautiful child
Merci
Nicole
Can “Ça marche géneralement plutôt bien” ( quite well) be rendered as assez bien? I e would assez bien and plutôt bien be interchangable in above sentence?
I wrote, "Je n'ai pas le montant exact."
Would that have worked in that setting?
George's question is interesting! Very often, in English, you may hear the following. "The front door, was it locked?". Also similarly, "Cécile, isn't she exceptional?". The screeching-brakes urgency of the first and the wonderment accolade of the second is relayed in the format. And yet the corresponding translation is rejected in the answers. How can you repeat the effect in French if not as follows. La porte d'entrée, etait-elle verouillée?/Cécile, n'est-elle pas exceptionnelle?
I really enjoy these exercises and they really assist in learning and improving my french.
Is it possible to see the "full" English translation? Without having to do the exercise again and each phrase separately.
This would help me to view the English translation and see where I deferred but also cement some expressions.
Thank you
I'm guessing example 1 uses the imparfait since it's a "continuing action", but isn't example 2 also a "continuing action" even with the fullstop separating the two?
