I'm inferring from the context that "clou" here means something like "highlight" or perhaps "grand finale", but I was unable to anything like this sense in the reference materials that I have on hand. "The nail of this stay" doesn't make a lot of sense to me, so I figure it has to mean something else.
Help in sorting this out will be appreciated.
what can I write them in negative sentences?
Tom est avocat = Tom n'est pas avocat
Tom et Pierre sont avocats=Tom et Pierre ne sont pas avocats
Maurice est un professeur excellent=Maurice n'est pas un professeur excellent.
Maurice et Tom sont des professeurs excellents=Maurice et Tom ne sont pas des professeurs excellents
Are these sentences corrects? İf they are not correct can anyone write true correct sentences
Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."
Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)
In the sentence 'Normalement, j'attendrais patiemment votre prochaine livraison, mais j'en ai besoin etc' I answered ...... mais je l'ai besoin..etc' The lesson on the use of 'en' says, 'Notice that 'en' as a pronoun can replace phrases introduced by the preposition de + [thing]/[object]/[location]. In the excercise, there is no 'de', so why 'en'?
In this sentence, the "que" is not heard well, it sounds like "tous"
It seems to be lost in the liasion?
je récupérais les vêtements que les gens oubliaient parfois dans un sèche-linge.What about when it is du in front of a thing? Is it still en or y?
While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response:
For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you?
- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?
In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps
Thanks!
