brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Le chiffre de 0,274 % n'est pas correct ! La probabilité d'être né un jour donné au cours d'une année normale est de 1/365 = 0,273 %. Or, le 29 février ne se produit que tous les quatre ans. Le calcul correct est donc 1/(365 + 365 + 365 + 366) = 0,068 %.
As I know we use "en" to replace a noun that follows number/quantity such as un(e), deux, un peu de etc.. so in this case it means that I can use "en" to replace ANY noun including "idée, histoire, conseil, chance" etc but only with any indefinite article, right? And in examples like "je vais vous donner une idee" "il raconte une histoire à mon ami" these nouns can be also replaced with "en", right? or not? why? I passed several tests where these nouns were replaced with COD(le,la,les) and I really can't understand why.. can someone explain it to me, please?
I was marked only partially correct in answering the question: Another way of saying "Vous vous souvenez des îles Cyclades" is "Vous ________ îles Cyclades"
I answered “Vous vous rappelez des îles Cyclades” and was informed that Vous vous rappeles des was another possibility.
Why do you not receive full credit if an answer is correct regardless of other options in this case?
In conjugation tables, I have not seen this ending with vous. Could you please address this issue?
Thank you.
Can you explain when to choose toi in place of tu?
Can you also have "Je n'ai pas du tout été surprise"?
Hello I have difficulty understanding this phrase from a podcast. Does it mean it changed a week ago?
Why is there no article for "vue"? That is, why "avec vue sur la mer" and not "avec une vue sur la mer"? Merci!
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
Why is there Mieux not Meilleur ?
I know one is adverb and other is abjective but I think adjective should work here too
