Dear Team,
Suggestion for the page
Avoir in Futur Simple + voulu / pu / dû [past participles]
As I can see with all the examples the formula seems to be
Avoir in Futur Simple + voulu / pu / dû [past participles] + infinitive
Unless there is a context where an infinitive doesn't follow vouloir, pouvoir & devoir.
Thanks for all your lesson. Keep up the great work.
Regards
Ignatius
it could be a strong belief so why marked wrong in favour of penser
Are L'accord vs l'entente equivalent for agreement?
Why is it "Mes pieds sont gelés" rather than "Les pieds sont gelés"? I understood that you could use la, le, l' when referring to your own body parts. How can you tell which to use?
In the song Jalousie by Angele, in saying the English question, "Who is that girl in the photo", why does she say,
"C'est qui cette fille sur la photo" rather than "Qui est cette fille sur la photo"?
Is this Walloon French, since she is from Belgium? Thank you very much.
I forgot to check the send e-mail box with my question below & had to redo this exercise to get to the Q&A in order to do so to request a response. I certainly hope part of the upgrade will be the ability to check the Q&A, at least after completing the exercise, without having to repeat the exercise every time.
Bonjour! Un exemple dans cette leçon indique:
>Exemple: Le joli garçon est avec la jolie fille.
Pourquoi c'est "la jolie fille" et pas "la fille jolie"?
[I wrote this in French as practice; but I thought that adjectives follow nouns in French? Is there a lesson going over how to order adjectives?
In addition, I'd love any feedback on the presentation/construction of my question! Writing longer sentences in French is hard.]
Google translates "tu dois du repos" as "you need some rest." But it sounds like Kwiziq only wants us to use devoir before an infinitive. However, the lesson only says "sometimes you can use devoir" without any explanation or examples. Despite the fact that multiple people have been complaining about this for years!
I think also the English translation might be tripping me up in certain instances. Like "you need to take a day off" in English uses the infinitive verb "to take" but in French it's "you need " which is a noun. It would be nice if the lesson explained that.
I hate having to just memorize the quiz maker's answer without understanding why Kwiziq thinks it's correct.
Can you say "on avait décidé de se réunir après le travail"?
Also, why is it "emmené dans un bar" instead of "emmené à un bar"?
