Does the sentence 'Je bien sûr nomme...' also work ?
Based on the last example ("Oui, je le veux"), why can't you, in the first example, simply use the same construction, and say "Non, je ne le sais pas"?
In other words, when do you add in "le faire"? Is there a rule??
OK. I see that this has been asked and answered below. I still think that you could use either construction: (a) Non, je ne le sais pas. (b) Non, je ne sais pas le faire.
Similarly, it looks as if you can use both forms with the first example too: (a) Non, je ne sais pas le faire. (b) Non, je ne le sais pas.
In this sentence, I cannot hear the "d'œil"
Le vétérinaire a jeté un coup d'œil rapide à sa patte,
Why is it "de jolies cartes romantiques " and not " des jolies cartes romantiques "? It seems like it should be parallel with "des boites" and "des bijoux". Thanks.
Also, why cannot 'le temps' be used to say "now it's time to..." ? The correct answer was l'heure.
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?
When is it appropriate to use "Plus que parfait" in a conversation?
A couple of the examples appear to use être in constructing the past tense:
Yann est passé par ton quartier
While others use avoir:
Nous avons passé une semaine
Why "s'illumine de lumieres colorees" and not "des lumieres colorees"?
I understand that "des" becomes "de" when the adjective precedes the noun that it is modifying, but in this case "colorees" is after "lumieres".
