I'm using another website along side this and there it says ''Qu'est-ce que c'est'' means ''What is that'' where as here you say it means ''What is it'' I'm really confused.
Réponse: le
Please can you explain why the answer is not "y" because the normal expression is "penser à qqch" and therefore it would seem that the answer should effectively be "tout le monde pense à le" or, using s preposition, "tout le monde y pense"?
I actually had two questions. One was the same as that of Alvine. I thought that the description of past feelings required the imparfait?
My second question is the use of « avec moi » and not « chez moi ». Couldn’t either one be correct? I suppose that « avec moi » indicates that she was staying specifically with and for him, but just wondered if « chez moi » could not have the same connotation?
Thank you!
Mm
I agree that it might have been helpful to have "enfiler" included in the vocabulary list. However, even though I wasn't familiar with it, I could write it out listening and sounding it out. I then looked it up in the dictionary. It was fun to learn a new word this way, and actually I think I will be more likely to remember it than if it had been given to me ahead of time.
My question is simply why "croiser" was used instead of "se croiser" and when is it appropriate to use each form of this verb. Some examples would be useful.
Merci !
I share James' question. I initially thought the difference must be as Jim describes, but the more I looked at examples the more they all seemed to be the same. In fact, the future anterior seemed to me to be an unnecessary complication of a pretty straightforward situation. The Future/Future examples just sound better to me than the Future Anterior/Future. When an answer will have been offered, I will understand fully. (Doesn't sound any better in English)!
Many thanks, Jamie
I couldn't tell the difference among 'Je suis allé '(mas) et 'je suis allée'(fem) ou 'nous sommes allés' et 'nous sommes allées' from the audio. In everyday speech, is there any change in pronunciation?
Can you say "après avoir terminé son diplôme"?
In the lesson below, it is stated that "se coucher" means "to go to bed"
Conjugate reflexive verb se coucher in the present tense in French (Le Présent)
However, when I wrote "puis il se couche" as corresponding sentence for "then he goes to bed" in the last part of the exercise, it was marked as a mistake and the correct one shown as "puis il va se coucher"
Could you please advise which one is correct ? or have I misunderstood something ?
