Entre les deux mots ces-ci, lequel est mieux?
Grosse
ou
Grande
pour décrire sa taille de quelqu'une?
I know there are lots of exceptions in French! Is there one hiding behind the breaking of the symmetry of taking off two letters and adding one when forming participles (-er > -é, -ir > -i, but -dre > -du, rather than the simpler -re > -u) ?
Are these sentences incorrect [see: French is Fun Book 1 / 2020)]? (1) Le père de Roger est un artiste. (2) La mère de Marie est une championne de karate.
This is a phone call, correct? Why was my word Allo (with accent on the A)marked incorrect in the first line?
qui est pierrot?
Bonjour,
I was wondering about the sentence , please explain why this would not be ?
merci beaucoup
Martin
Merci pour cette dictée qui est le sujet de beaucoup de conversations en France aujourd'hui. Je vit aux États-Unis où nous avons eu un problème similaire il y a plusieurs ans. Nous l'avons résolu en élevant l'age de retraite normale jusqu'à 67 ans. Bien sûr c'est difficile de retirer une promesse et il y a toujours des autres choix. Comme France, les États-Unis ont un déficit chaque année. Dans l'avenir quelqu'un doit payer la dette. Qui le fera?
Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?
In one of the tests the answer included « choose one or the other. » We would normally say « Choose one or other (of them). » ‘The one’ or ‘the other’, sounds clunky even if grammatical. :)
HI,
I am understanding the usage of the reflexive verbs as well as reciprocal but I had saw something about passive pronominals would that be something for A2 I had seen it somewhere and now I can't seem to find it.
Thanks
Nicole
