the sound quality of this exercise appears to be poor
It's not clear to me when used on. I'd appreciate some guidance about the use of that pronoun.
I don't understand this
French: "Vous parlez d'autres langues"
English "Are you speaking about other languages?"
if "de" comes from "parlez", the lesson says it needs to be contracted to "des"
but here, it's just "d'"
Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...
t's describing something habitual that happened over a long period of tim. It's in the middle of a longer passage also in the imparfait setting the scene for a discrete action to come....
Thanks in advance for the insights I know you will provide.
I'm curious about why we say "Je lui parle", but "Je pense à lui. Can we say, "Je parle à lui" and Je lui pense"? Why does "parler" use an indirect object pronoun and "penser" use a stress pronoun? What is the reasoning behind this? Is it something to do with the meaning of the verbs, or is there no logic to it?
Franchir vs croiser always confuses me. Please explain
Does the placement of 'Du tout' affect the overall meaning of the sentence? Could it be placed in different places to give the sentence different meanings? Are there any rules of where (before or after what) we are allowed to place 'du tout' ? How does the placement of 'du tout' change when there are prepositions within the sentence ?
I look in the examples, and see 'du tout' placed after adjectives and nouns, does that negate other parts of the sentence?
"Moins le quart" is hardly perceptible.
Le temps
But
La mi-temps ?
Please confirm
This phrasing is not how a native English speaker would say this. I think “ Nantes was France’s best city for cycling” would be clearer. As is, it sounds like the city rides bikes.
