why is it fais instead of fait
Hi;
I read this on a spead repetition program. It says:
It is windy today - c'est venteux aujourd'hui
Is this correct? Why does it use c'est insted of Il fait here?
Thanks
Why do we use the past participle "occupés" after "semblaient" in the third sentence. Why isn't it in the infinitive "occuper"?
Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns."
Isn't saying "Il fait du soleil" saying 'it is sunny?' Sunny being an adjective?
Why is this jusque and not jusqu'à?
Celine, not to be too picky but it is "devions" rather than "devrions" isn't it?
In the sentence: Tu ne peux rien mettre dans ce placard. Why is rien before mettre and not after?
In the beginning of the text, according to the context, "j'ai travaillé" could very well have been "je travaillais".
In fact, the second is more probable since it fits better: "A few years ago I was working at..." as opposed to " A few years ago I worked at..."
Hi, for “but I used to play it all the time when I was a teenager” we are given the answer “mais j'y jouais tout le temps lorsque j'étais adolescente”.
I had put “mais je le jouais…”. What’s a good way to interpret why it should be “y” and not “le”?
Thanks, Brian
