[cyan mist]

one main point is you are missing some accents

this is crucial!

[wet atlas]

LMAO no way r u the one from revision server

[wet atlas]

ohh icl tbh my teacher said it doesn't rlly matter apart from the past tense (j'ai passé)...

[dapper heart]

your class is going to put « sûre la table » and it’s going to be your teacher’s fault fr

[cyan mist]

it does

ou vs où

a vs à

it matters always

[wet atlas]

ohh what does that translate to?

[wet atlas]

or vs where. i see it makes sense ig

[cyan mist]

sure people are trying to phase out ˆ (like in île/bientôt) but as an academic in school trying to pass you should absolutely get those accents in

[dapper heart]

sûr.e.s is an adjective meaning sure
sur is a preposition meaning on

if you don’t make that distinction early on, you’re going to be confused af

[wet atlas]

ohh right i see

[dapper heart]

Even then if the circumflex is maintained for minimal pairs

connaitre and connaître, who cares you know
but du and dû? very important

[wet atlas]

damn

so moral of the story is

put the accents in 😭

[dapper heart]

PUT ACCENTS IN

[cyan mist]

go put the accents in please

[dapper heart]

always

[wet atlas]

😭

alrr

[wet atlas]

@cyan mist @dapper heart i've added as much accents as I can + used google translate bc i wasn't rlly sure which 1s to use / where some of them would go. please have a look whenever you can 🙏

[fallow trench]

Une ville qui **s’**appelle

The verb is « s’appeler » in this case

UN supermarché

Donc le principal

Il est énorme

Un négatif / un positif ❌

Un point positif/ négatif

Ou un avantage/désavantage

Crimes ✅ crimé ❌

Since there is = depuis qu’il y a ❌ étant donné qu’il y a ✅

Since = depuis tho

Most of the time

[dapper heart]

Oh yeah « appelle » is a big one for accents because you could’ve said « appelée »

[fallow trench]

Je sens ✅

Le verbe c’est sentir

Dans ce cas

[dapper heart]

there are two ‘since’s, one where it’s a synonym of ‘because’ (étant donné, puisque) and another where it’s a synonym for ‘for (time)’ (depuis)

[fallow trench]

Yeah I explained it

For the third question :

Because in English

In French : Grâce - when it’s something positive

A cause - when it’s something negative

So grâce au(x) parc(s)

[dapper heart]

You touched on it but didn’t really go into detail

[fallow trench]

Yeah

True

Thx

I assumed he already knew it

Beaucoup mieux qu’en

In French we use Que for the comparaison

Malheureusement

couteux

BTW I corrected the grammatical errors, however there are still some sentences that are not formulated as a native speaker would, but they are still correct

J’ai peut être raté des erreurs

Vu l’heure

Si t’as des questions

Don’t hesitate

[wet atlas]

thank you so much honestly

[fallow trench]

Absolutely no problem

If you have any question

I’ll glad to answer

Tomorrow

[wet atlas]

ohh, if you have time, do you mind changing a few to what you would say instead? i'm trying to have as less errors as possible + make it sound really fluent. my exams in like 3 weeks haha

ahh lol

that's fine

[fallow trench]

Fine

I’m doing now

[wet atlas]

LOL thank you :D

[fallow trench]

For the sentence “sauf si je m’ennuie vraiment car je me sens paresseux tout le temps”

@wet atlas wdym

In English

[wet atlas]

ohh um

[fallow trench]

3. Est-ce que tu penses que ton quartier est propre ?
   D'apres moi, mon quartier est assez propre parce qu'il y a beaucoup d'espaces verts notamment les parcs et donc l'air est pur

[wet atlas]

i prefer to rest at home even if i'm really bored because i feel lazy all the time

[fallow trench]

Here I added “notamment”

[wet atlas]

what does notamment and pur translate to?

[fallow trench]

Because a parc

Is an Espace vert

So notamment means

In particular

[wet atlas]

isn't that green area? or does it mean both? well technically a park is a green area haha 😭

[fallow trench]

Including

[fallow trench]

A park

Okey let’s start from the beginning

Un espace vert can be several things

Including a “parc”

[wet atlas]

right ok

[fallow trench]

So notamment means including

[wet atlas]

similar to y compris?

[fallow trench]

Hum not really

While notamment is when you point out something out of the list, you want to emphasize it

Sorry for my English

Im tired

[wet atlas]

ohh okay

[fallow trench]

Like

[wet atlas]

no worries lol

ah okay

thank you haha

[fallow trench]

No wait

Hummm

Je suis tellement paresseux que je préfère rester à la maison même quand je m’ennuie beaucoup

[dapper heart]

« Je préfère rester chez moi même si je m’ennuie beaucoup »

Wait no

[fallow trench]

Ouais mais je voulais introduire la notion de paresse

[dapper heart]

That sentence even in English is not it

[fallow trench]

This

Is fine

[dapper heart]

‘Even if’ is used as a supposition, a hypothetical

[fallow trench]

Okey

Final version

[fallow trench]

.

[dapper heart]

‘I prefer staying at home even if I’m lazy’ is not a supposition, that’s just fact. ‘I prefer staying at home even if I’m fired up’ would make more sense because there’s contrast there

[fallow trench]

Indeed

Anyway

[wet atlas]

ohh tbh idek how to say that

my vocab isn't that good 😭

[dapper heart]

I prefer Azox’s version both in French and English: ‘I am really lazy to the point where I prefer staying at home even when I’m really bored’

[fallow trench]

For the last question

C’est plus sûr

Instead of

Il y a plus de sécurité

[wet atlas]

mhm

[fallow trench]

« Me rendre à des endroits » sounds weird (although it’s correct)

Me déplacer

[wet atlas]

me déplacer à des endroits?

[fallow trench]

No

Me déplacer

[wet atlas]

yeah sorry

[fallow trench]

Just “me déplacer”

[wet atlas]

thank u so much

i feel more confident about my exam tbh

[wet atlas]

if i were to translate this, would this work: je me sens plus confiance environ mes examens?

[fallow trench]

No

Environ = roughly

Or about

Or some

It depends

[wet atlas]

hmm right

fair enough

[fallow trench]

Environ = about

But a different about

Like

[wet atlas]

like

[fallow trench]

How much does it cost

[wet atlas]

about 10 years

[fallow trench]

About 2 bucks

[fallow trench]

Exactly

You got it

[wet atlas]

ahh I understand

thx

[fallow trench]

If you wanna translate that sentence

You would say

Je me sens plus confiant

Ou en confiance

Pour/par rapport à mes examens

[wet atlas]

thanks

[fallow trench]

Okey

[wet atlas]

I do have a few more qs I need to check, i'll send it in this server either tomorrow or in a few days. is it fine if I could ping u whenever I do so? u seem really generous

[fallow trench]

Ofc

You can ping me tomorrow

Np

[wet atlas]

thanks man

🫡

[fallow trench]

It was a pleasure

Good night/evening

Morning

Whatever

[wet atlas]

haha

good night man sleep well
