Some of the examples and test answers of used to + reflexive verb use avoir l'habitude de and some dont. I cannot find any explanation for this.
This lesson is about the expression ‘faire exprès de’ + infinitive. My question is whether the word ‘exprès’ can also be used directly after other verbs to equally mean ‘on purpose’. For example, in the examples above is it possible to say “mon petit frère a cassé exprès ma poupée” and “j’ai renversé exprès mon verre” to mean the same things as “mon petit frère a fait exprès de casser ma poupée” and “j’ai fait exprès de renverser mon verre” ?
In a couple of academic articles I'm reading which are written in French, equations are numbered things like: "(2.1)" for "equation 1 from section 2", "(5.15)" for "equation 15 from section 5", etc. How would one pronounce these numbers? For instance in English, I would pronounce "(2.1)" as "two point one" and "(5.15)" as "five point 15".
bonjour, pourquoi on utilise pas subjonctif passé ici ? merci pour votre réponse.
What took you so long?
I don't understand why we here use the "qui". I would use "que" here as there is no verb following it. Can someone explain please?
Partout cette lécon on utilise le pronon "on". C'est pourquoi j'ai écrit: Mes amis et moi, on préfère rester chez moi...????
Par example, pour exprimer une action qui s'est passée juste avant une autre, pouvons-nous dire:
"ils étaient venus d'arriver quand la pluie s'est arretée"
