For "Je les connaissais par coeur" the reason for the imparfait was a habitual activity, but I have trouble with seeing that as a habit. To me that is done and that's it. I used passé comp....can you help me understand what they mean by a habit in this case.
I have trouble understanding when to use les and when to use des when you don't use an article in English. For example, it is j'ai les yeux bleus but je porte des lunettes. I have found the same problem in other exercises. For example, j'aime les salades but je mange des salades avec des framboises. Is there a simple rule to tell when I should use les and when I should use des when I wouldn't use anything in English. Thanks so much.
If I am talking about clothing that I own, but am not currently wearing, do I still use the definite article?
For example “La veste est sur le canapé” or “Ma veste est sur le canapé” ?
I put of but it's coming as from dhryujvertgrtujrtdtruhjtydhdfgytr5yh67ikjr5ty646rjityut6r4y6r4uy
Bonjour Madame,
In the sentence from the lesson "Il jouait au football quand il était petit." Should the translation not be as-
"He used to play football when he was young."(in place of played)
Please explain the reason.
Merci d'avance
