Pouquoi ne pas utiliser " Savez que vous êtes loin d'etre le seul au lieu de "Sachez que vous êtes loin d'être le seul"? L'utilisation du subjonctif est-elle nécessaire ?
Kevin
So in this lesson, I was studying this sentence: “Pour calmer mes enfants, je leur lis une histoire.” I also remembered that lui/leur is only used when a verb goes with “à”, like “Je téléphone à mon frère” —> “Je lui téléphone.” So is this grammatically correct? “Pour calmer mes enfants, je leur lis une histoire.” —> “Je lis une histoire à mes enfants pour leur calmer.”
The text reads “Tant mieux, car je n'ai même pas encore commencé à râper le fromage”, but there’s no “même” spoken in the audio (Cécile has confirmed this to be the case in the Q&A).
The text just needs a small correction.
There was an earlier quiz where "something fitted someone" and the answer was APADTE Á. I also remember that VA Á was not one of the options. When is 'adapte á" appropriate?
Are these correct?
1. J'étais née le lundi 26 mars 1983.
2. J'étais née lundi. (I was born on Monday) ...talking about a specific context / specific thing that happened on that day, so no "le" used?
3. La réunion est le mercredi 14 avril à 8h.
4. La réunion est mercredi. (The meeting is on Wednesday) .....talking about a specific context / specific thing that will happen on that day, so no "le" used?
I thought name days were always masculine. Why not here?
Pour "How I wished things were different" les réponses étaient "Comme j'aurais aimé que les choses soient différentes !" et "Qu'est-ce que j'aurais aimé qu'il en soit autrement !" Je ne comprends pas qu'est-ce que dans ce contexte. Pouvez-vous me donner d'autres exemples? Merci.
I could not find any lesson explaining the numbers from 0 to 69.
Am I missing something ?
Would it also be correct to say, "Elles dorment en s'enlacant."?
(Sorry I know that the C is missing the cedille, here.)
Merci !
