After studying these lessons I don’t understand why, for example,
Vous vous aimez promener ici? Is wrong!?
And
Vous aimez vous promener ici? Is correct.
Why isn’t there an infinite in the above phrase ?
Bonjour Madame,
A sentence from the lesson states -
Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus.
Could “aux yeux bleus” be replaced with “y” as and be correct -
Nous nous l’y imaginons blonde. ?
Merci beaucoup !
So a sentence like "My friends came and they were all happy," can be translated in two different ways?
Mes amis sont venus et tous étaient contents.
Mes amis sont venus et ils étaient tous contents.
Is this then just a stylistic difference, or do these differ semantically as well?
Hi, to say “I must” is there a difference between when one would use ‘Il faut que je …” instead of “je dois”? Or are they equivalent? (I believe devoir is simply followed by an infinitive rather than by the subjunctive with falloir, so it’s simpler to use!) Thanks.
Bonjour,
Some of these sentences seem to have accordance, like the final "s" added to the end of apporter in "Il les leur a apportés"
How do you decide which of the object pronouns the verb is supposed to be in accordance with?
The following sentence is given as an example in a dictionary explanation for "le lendemain".
"Il a été décrété que le lendemain serait un jour férié".
Is this sentence grammatically incorrect because it uses the conjugated verb serait after le lendemain?
when we want to describe someone's profession using 'faire', must we use partitive article?
Thanks
