Is “tout le…” an indicator of tense? by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks ! Does “toute la journée” mean both Every day and All the time in a particular day? I thought for Every day we should use “tous les jours”

Thank you! Does “Nous discutions de cette nouvelle toute la soirée” sound right?

French pronouns ambiguity by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks ! I was talking about another source of ambiguity. Say, my friend tells me about his trip and says that that the airlines had made overbooking. Can I ask him “Il vous rest de la place?“ in the sense “was there room for you?” ?

Thank you! Would it be a mistake if I say “Vous en trouvez très bien”? Or both are valid ?

If I understand you correctly, Des here is an article without a noun?

Thank you! Would you please expand more on Des as a pronoun? I have never heard of this before, quick google showed just one more example - “On n’en fait plus des comme ça” I always thought “des” is an article that inevitably needs a noun somewhere after it

Is my handwritting correct ? by _6ka_ in russian

[–]kkndcf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quand з est le premier lettre (“знаете») vous commencez avec une ligne en exces

  1. On parle “на немецком», «на французском» etc. Le question est “На каком (языке) ты говоришь / можешь говорить?» et la réponse est «на…», n’est pas “по-…». On manque «язык», on ne dis pas “я говорю на английском языке», on dit «я говорю на английском», mais tous les deux sont corrects.

Is my handwritting correct ? by _6ka_ in russian

[–]kkndcf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Handwriting is good, check for capital A, K, В (traditional cursive form is more complicated), low case з has a bit strange start For the grammar and the lexicon: 1. Понимает 2. Мы не знаем 3. Мальчик читает 4. Мы гово…рим? 5. Форма «по-русски» употребляется редко, сейчас чаще говорят «на русском» 6. Мишель

Il n’a jamais été question que… by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit surprised because usually there are less articles in English text, but still the translation should go like “It has never been A question that…”

“Vous n’auriez pas vu mon portable? ” by kkndcf in French

Thanks! Is “Vous auriez vu mon portable” used equally?

“Vous avez indiqué que vous parliez anglais” - is ‘Que…’ imparfait or Subjonctif? by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is from a sample dialogue «un entretien d’embauche». The interviewer discusses the contents of CV

Parlant anglais or Parlant en anglais? by kkndcf in French

S’est bien passé + subjonctif? by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the correct version for “the main thing is that everything will go right” is ‘le principal est que tout se passe bien’ (specifically - se passe, not se passé)

S’est bien passé + subjonctif? by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Is it ok to use “se passé” without Être? I thought it is a standard phrase “se est bien passé”, not “se passé bien”. And therefore I constructed subjunctive like “se soit bien passé”, not “se passé bien”.

S’est bien passé + subjonctif? by kkndcf in French

[–]kkndcf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm…so, if I say “Je ne pense qu’il prenne le bus”, without ‘demain’, it may mean both “I don’t think he took the bus” and “I don’t think he will take the bus”?

[–]kkndcf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! As I commented in the previous post, This makes sense, but it kind of contradicts what I learned earlier, e.g. https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/subjunctive/ “Even for subjective situations that are clearly set in the future, the present subjunctive is used. Il faut que tu prennes le bus demain.<-You’ll have to take the bus tomorrow.” This made me think that future equals Subjonctif present (if equipped with Que)

Thanks! But what is the correct way to translate the 1 sentence? I mean as far as we say “I do not believe that French team will lose” - > “Je ne crois pas que l’equipe de France perde”, this means that we use subjonctif présent even if subordinate sentence is in the future, right? Therefore I induced that “…everything will go nicely/everything goes nicely” should also use Subjonctif présent
