I think in this context the dad was getting annoyed of the kids fighting each other. Therefore "j'en ai marre" can be appropriate.
or Nous voulons vraiment arriver. Can someone clarify this for me.
You managed to finish your exercise.HINT: Conjugate arriver (to manage) using le Passé Composé (conversational past)
The answer given is ‘es arrivé’. So, even when ‘arriver’ means ‘to manage’ rather than ‘to arrive’, & therefore doesn’t actually have anything to do with movement or coming & going, its auxiliary is still être rather than avoir?
Are there any further such instances we should bear in mind?
Thank you.
Bonjour Madame Cécile,
If the sentence is given as " J'en ai acheté. "
Then, the question for this sentence would be as
1. Qu'as-tu acheté ? OR 2. As-tu acheté du pain ?
Madame , Please confirm which one of the following questions is correct.
Merci d'avance
I thought that la peau would be an acceptable response rather than ma peau because it’s clear Marc is referring to his skin so there’s no need to use the personal pronoun?
This is actually confusing, as it seems the sentence might be incorrect. I keep wondering why it isn't Quelles chaussures ils/elles plaisent? Or Quelles chaussures tu plais?
Chris' comment below about modal verbs (All modal verbs, like pouvoir or devoir require the infinitive, no matter which tense or mode they are in.) was an eye-opener for me as to how pouvoir and devoir fit in the big picture. Perhaps a short paragraph about modal verbs in general would be useful to others. Thanks!
