I just want to clarify can the following be either, 'what is this' or 'what is that?' If not, how do you change the sentence to be one or the other?
Or is it it for example:
qu'est-ce que c'est : What is that?
qu'est-ce que c'est que cela: What is this?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que cela ?What is that? / What is this?Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça ?What is that? / What is this?C'est quoi ça ?What is this? / What is that?Why can’t it be “tu as l’odeur du pain” ?
Could you explain why the English "Yes, I agree with you." would be translated to the French "Oui, j'accorde avec toi."? I would have thought it would be "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi" and even Google Translate renders it that way. Not that I am saying Google Translate is authoritative, but I don't really recall "j'accorde" even being in that lesson. But I will go back and look for it again. Thanks.
(Added a couple of minutes later: I did another quiz and this time it agreed with my "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi".)
Hi
I am looking for a lesson which explains how in reflexive verbs in passe compose the past participle does not agree in gender and number with the subject if the object is indirect.
In the sentence, "Je vais me laisser tenter par la deuxième option qui a l'air vraiment intéressante à faire.", the adjective, intéressante, is féminine. I would have thought that this adjective is modifying the word 'air', which is masculine, rather than obliqely referring to the feminine noun, 'option'. Could you explain?
Hi, I use this app a lot (every day) for French grammar. I was doing the excersise and in a little bit confused on when to use a ‘!’ and ‘?’ in the phrase that’s being read to me. How do I know when to use them because if it’s a robot, they don’t talk with a high pitched voice when there's an exclamation mark and have a confused tone when there’s a question mark in the sentence. I’m sorry if this is confusing, I’m not the best writer, but if you hopefully understand what I’m trying to say, please kindly explain the answer to my question. Thank you
How would you say: "It is hot and sunny?"
Il fait chaud et il y a du soleil?
NB I don't understand why in French hot is an adjective and sunny is a noun...
