If you were to say something such as "after eating, I will go for a walk," are you required to use the anterior future and repeat "je" twice, or is it somehow possible to incorporate an infinitive like this (Être allé manger, perhaps?).
I've been marked wrong for using - Il est dix-neuf heures et demie. - for 7.30 PM
But it's shown as acceptable in the lesson above.
Why?
Je suis une sage-femme, je rencontre mes clients à la réception et ensuite nous allons dans la salle d’examen, est-ce que je pourrais dire " allons-y" ?
"Comme des mots-clic" but " des hashtags en tant que" Why not "comme des hashtags"?
When I took French in school I remember there being a confusion with leur and leurs around sentences such as "the men went to their cars" where there was a difference between each man going to his own individual car versus the cars being collectively owned by the group of men.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is it just "les hommes sont allés à leurs voitures" for both?
"Note that because plus is used in a negative context here, you don't pronounce the final "s"."
why is
'je vous la donne' the translation for 'I give it to you' when we don't know the gender of 'it'? shouldn't it be 'je vous le donne'
in the same manner why is 'je la lui a écrite' - i wrote it to her - not 'je le lui a écrit'?
This is probably a very fine distinction. "I got on my horse", according to the lesson would be "J'ai monté mon cheval." So why is it incorrect to say, ''Lucas a monté la nouvelle armoire de sa sœur.'' - "Lucas got on his sister's new wardrobe"?"
What is the difference between this and 'Lucie Martin est allée voir' ?
