I hear a different word before the word belle in the last sentence. The text states the word as aussi. I hear either plus or tout. Do you agree?
1. "je ferais régulièrement du sport" --> I thought "régulièrement" would go at the end of the sentence, or at least the expression "faire du sport"? I remember this lesson saying that sometimes adverbs ending in -ment go at the beginning or end of a sentence? Position of French Adverbs - with compound tenses
2. I translated "Getting informed" as "se renseigner." What's the difference between this and "s'informer"?
Hi, I'm a bit confused if we can use "bon" for a person?
It's from this sentence [Il est très bon] when the "il" refers to Tom Cruise .
Appreciate your help, thanks!
I think you should also allow "j'encourage" for "I support" ? (For sentence: je soutiens le club de ma ville).
According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school."
When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à).
Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated.
Why is it "bien que ton papa et moi soyons en manque de sommeil" rather than "bien que ton papa et moi ayons été en manque de sommeil"?
Hello,
So, the demonstrative pronouns in French, if I'm not mistaken, are: celui, ceux, celle, celles
While in English, they're: this, these, that, those
But if I want to translate: That looks like the car I used to drive. in French, that's Cela ressemble à la voiture que je conduisais.
Why cela and not celle ?
So, when do you actually use the french demonstrative pronouns?
