How would you say « whom do you miss »?
I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?
I am wondering when I should use à qui versus auquel/à laquelle.
For the sentence: The girls who I am thinking about are pretty.
I said: les filles auxquelles je pense sont jolies.
But the correct answer was: les filles à qui je pense sont jolies.
What is the difference between these two ways of writing the sentence? Thank you!
Why is it not "doucemment" with a double "m"?
In the bottom half of the quick lesson it says:
"- the more elegant
Comment se fait-il que ... ?-> Note the use of inverted question form to emphasise the elegant structure."
Did you leave out 'cela' between 'Comment' and 'se fait-il'?
The notes state that Martin aime Sarah can say ´Martin loves Sarah’ but my answer was marked wrong, saying it should have been ´Martin aime bien Sarah’
Bon jour.
If indirect speech is in the present tense, is it necessary to replace ce/cette/etc with something?
E.g.
Sophie demande à Oliver: “Explique-moi cette règle !”
Elle lui demande de lui expliquer cette règle-là.
Because in the indirect speech we don't know what is "cette" règle.
bonjour mes amis,
est-ce qu'on peut utiliser « à côté de » comme un sinonyme pour « avec » ? Ou c'est seulement pour la distance ?
par ex.: C'est notre livre, on va l'étudier à côté d'une bonne méthode pédagogique.
Merci bcp d'avance.
Can I just check the spelling of the second "apparus" in Céline’s reply to Jenny-Anne?
She says "The correct answer was - Both sentences are correct
as you can say Puis, nous sommes apparus and Puis nous avons apparus"
The first two sentences of the exercise use "on" rather than "nous" for we. Why is the "nous conjugation of the imperative verb (prenons) used rather than the "on" conjugation (prend)? That is why "Prenons un selfie"... rather than "Prend un selfie"...?
