Is the sentence below correct ?! Can we use three negatives in a row?
Il ne dit jamais rien personne
or is it necessary to add à before personne ?!
Il ne dit jamais rien à personne ?!
When the final answer to the text is presented, why is
"j'ai appris beaucoup sur la culture française" favoured over
"j'ai beaucoup appris sur la culture française" ?
Any rules here ?
Thanks. Paul.
Why does "CP" correspond to "first grade"? How are French grade levels named?
How does personne work in a sentence written in past tense?
How would someone say “nobody believed me” for example? Is it “ne m’a cru personne” or should it be something different?
Hi
Is there much difference between 'le potiron' and 'la citrouille'?
Thanks
Pour etre riche, ____ beaucoup d'argent. I put "il faut avoir" and it was wrong, "il faut" being correct. Do we not use the infinitive here? It doesn't seem right in either language.
I prefer to listen to speakers with expression. It helps to understand the meaning (although I realize this wasn't a dictée)
Désolé de commencer à ressembler à un disque rayé avec ces questions contextuelles, mais :
J'ai vu les verbes emballer et déballer utilisés pour décrire l'emballage et le déballage de manière générique. Les verbes emballer et déballer sont-ils utilisés principalement pour déplacer un ménage ou une entreprise entière ?
The best I can fathom, verb usage changes with an increase in scale/size or something becoming more of a commercial activity (not necessarily workplace jargon, that happens in every language). Am I on to something here or am I way off-base?
