- Hi Michelle,Indeed, it is much better to read the book "naturally" to understand the story globally, without stopping every two minutes to check a word. Of course if not understanding specific words makes the understanding of the whole text problematic, you should look for a translation. Usually, I read the book a second time and then I look for words in the dictionary, have a closer look at the language structures etc.0 votedJuly 18, 20200
- use fewer "OF" How can I rephrase these and use fewer "OF"? 1.- He films the stages of the edification of the wall of a building. 2.- The reapropriation of the space involves the recuperation of the symbol of the regime. 3.- ... who used to be notified of the arrival of the truck... Thanks!November 28, 201730
- Bonjour, Dans ton cas on dira "commencer à". On utilise: "Commencer à" pour une action qui n'est pas renfermée dans des limites précises, qui est susceptible de progrès. L'accent est mis sur l'action exprimée par l'infinitif. Ex: Cet enfant commence A parler = c'est le début d'un processus qui dont l'aboutissement final est de parler Il commence A étudier la médecine = dans le but d'aller au bout de l'apprentissage Le temps commence à changer. "Commencer de" se dirait d'une action qui ne suppose pas de développement, qui n'a pas un but précis. L'accent est mis sur le fait de commencer. Ex: L'orateur commençait à peine de parler quand on lui coupa la parole. Je n'ai pas encore commencé de prendre des notes. J'espère que ça aidera. Nadia0 votedNovember 3, 20171
- Here are some examples: "Dépaysement" = when you feel like you are in an unfamiliar place, very different from what you know. It usually has a positive connotation, for example when you travel on holidays. "L'appel du vide" (literally the call of the emptiness) = the instinctive urge to jump from high places. "Les retrouvailles" = when you didn't see someone for a while and you meet again. It express not only the action but all the specific feelings and behaviours that comes with it. "ça va chauffer!" (literally: it's going to get hot) = something went wrong and there will be a fight/argument soon. I would add something I find really funny: Filer à l'anglaise = take French leave. I hope that will help :-) Nadia0 votedOctober 23, 20171
