Hi all, may I know what the difference is between même and comme? Thank you.
My question regards choosing to translate using the imparfait or plus que parfait vs passé composé. Often I will choose the passé composé but the exercise will say to use the imparfait or plus que parfait because of expressing an opinion. In this exercise, then, I used the imparfait instead of the phrase describing the first lesson: "....qui s'est très bien passée". Wouldn't this express an opinion? If not, then please help me to see the difference between this and "elle ne s'y attendait pas"
Checking whether these words are interchangeable, or whether there are nuances we should know about:
Parfois vs quelquefois
mare vs. étang vs bassin
morceaux de tomate vs pièces de tomate
Thanks!
Je vais à Paris.
devient:
Je ne vais plus de Paris?
ou
Je ne vais plus à Paris?
Merci :)
If it can be e acute or e grave why not e natural? The Academy should give preference to simpler solutions!
I just wanted to say that the video in this lesson was super helpful. I struggled so much with this concept and now I get it right all the time. So, thank you!
Hi,
I'm wondering why we would say 'on a dégusté des spécialités lyonnaises' rather than 'on dégustait des spécialités lyonnaises'. I thought that we would use the imperfect in this case as it happened over an extended period of time?
