First paragraph :

- étagé
+ étage

- le problème c'est qui
+ le problème c'est que

- mes voisins soit
+ mes voisins soient 

- bruyant
+ bruyants

- la maison c'est très bien isolée
+ la maison est très bien isolée
#

second one :

- un salle de bain
+ une salle de bain

And what are you trying to say with je déteste ça parce que a mon gré ?

#

@weak junco

weak junco
#

someone told me 'a mon gre' means in my opinion but it's a phrase used by native people + pretty complex

solar current
#

"Contre mon gré" = against my will

#

"A mon gré" dosn't have any signification

#

(it does bu,t not in you're sentence)

weak junco
#

ah alright

solar current
#

"à mon gré" is the opposite of "contre mon gré", so it mean that you're alright with the thing

#

I think the most litteral traduction is "to my liking"

weak junco
#

oh wow, i wasn't told that

solar current
#

In you're exercice, you're not alright with the fact that you share a bathroom with you're broda

#

so you can use "contre mon gré" instead of "à mon gré" 👍

#

btw

#

"Je déteste ça parce que contre mon gré, je n'ai pas beaucoup d'intimité." isn't right

#

You can use a better word, like "malheureusement" (unfortunatly)

weak junco
#

I tried to translate 'I hate it because in my opinion, I don't have a lot of privacy'

solar current
#

"I hate it because unfortunately I don't have much privacy"

weak junco
#

ah okay

solar current
weak junco
#

ohh i see

#

i'm trying to make my answers sound as native as possible, with the least amount of errors

solar current
#

"parce qu'à mon avis je n'ai pas beaucoup d'intimité"
"in my opinion" = à mon avis
But that's not really an opinion, that's more a fact

solar current
weak junco
#

will do, thank you

solar current
#

wlc

#

It could be easier if you sent pictures heres

#

Of the others sentences

#

I have to search on the other channel all time i want to read and correct it lol

weak junco
#

ah no worries

#

these?

solar current
#

yea

weak junco
#

kk

solar current
#

Do you have to correct questions too?

weak junco
#

oh no lol

solar current
#

k xd

weak junco
#

just the answers the I have written (i'll be assessed on them in my final exam in around 2 weeks 😭)

solar current
#

okok

#

so

#

"J'aimerais ma maison idéale soit à Dubaï"
“I would like TO my ideal home was in Dubai”

#

but there you just say "I would like my ideal home was in Dubaï"

weak junco
#

ohh I was meant to write

#

I would like my ideal home to be (situated) in Dubai

#

by the sea side (au bord de la mer)

solar current
#

yea, u want

+I would like my ideal home to be in Dubai
but you have 
+I would like my ideal home be in Dubai
#

You wrote "J'aimerais ma maison idéale soit à Dubai"

#

You have to write "J'aimerais que ma maison idéale soit à Dubaï"

weak junco
#

doesn't that translate to

#

ohh

solar current
#

"i would like to.."
"je voudrais que"

weak junco
#

what does 'que' mean?

#

my teacher said 'that / than'

solar current
#

yea, "that/than"

weak junco
#

such as: je pense que = I think that

solar current
#

yea it's right

weak junco
#

kk

solar current
#

second fault :
"pour mon amis"
Do you mean "my friends" or "my friend"

#

ONE friend = ami
more than one friend = amis

weak junco
#

for my friends

#

pour mes amis?

solar current
#

Yea

#

exact

weak junco
#

ahhh ok

solar current
#

mon = only one

#

mes = more than one

weak junco
#

thanks

#

ma = feminine?

#

pour ma ami = for my friend (if it was a girl) <-- does that make sense at all?

solar current
#

"car ce que j'adore regarder des films" isn't correct too
What do want to write there?

solar current
#

amie = masculin

weak junco
weak junco
#

alrr

solar current
#

and more than 1 girl
pour mes amies

weak junco
#

thanks

solar current
#

But if there is 1 guy on ur friendlist (like 4 girls and 5 guys)
You have to use "mes amis"

#

masculin > féminin

solar current
weak junco
solar current
#

(car/because = same thing)

weak junco
solar current
#

bc there is 1 male

#

if there is 1 male and 500000 females, we also say "mes amis"

weak junco
#

ohh

solar current
#

you only use "mes amies" when it's full female group

weak junco
#

so along long as there is a single male, it will be 'mes amis'

weak junco
solar current
solar current
weak junco
#

i have so many misconceptions

solar current
#

try to understand :
1 girl = mon amie
2 girls = mes amies

1 guy = mon ami
2 guys = mes amis

1 guy + 1 or more = mes amis

weak junco
#

understood !!

#

add 'e' for girl. both for both if plural, add 's' aswell

#

thank you haha

solar current
#

"Je prend des douches plus courtes comme tu peux sauver l'argent par l'utiliser moins du chauffage et de l'eau"
Wdym?

weak junco
#

oh so

#

I take shorter showers as you can save money by using less heating and water

solar current
#

alright

#

"Je prend des douches plus courtes pour économiser de l'argent en utilisant moins de chauffage et d'eau" is better

#

"comme tu peux sauver l'argent" is false
First, we d'ont use 'sauver l'argent" but we use "économiser"

weak junco
#

sauver l'argent is gramatically incorrect?

#

because literally it would translate to: to save the money no?

solar current
solar current
#

unfortunally 😭

weak junco
#

oh

#

unfortunate

solar current
#

and second part why does ur sentence was false :
You can't use "comme tu peux sauver l'argent"
(you can't either use "comme tu peux économiser l'argent)

Comme isn't good there

weak junco
#

oh

solar current
#

You can use "comme ça" if you wan't but i'm not able to explain why lol,
Either, use "pour économiser", that's way better

weak junco
solar current
#

If you really want to use "comme" you could say "Je prend des douches plus courtes, comme ça j'utilise moins d'eau et de chauffage et j'économise mon argent"

solar current
weak junco
#

I may make a mistake in the exam n forget to put 'ca'

solar current
#

"ça"

#

not ca

#

do not forget the cédille (the little thing under the c)

weak junco
#

ohh my keyboard doesn't have that

#

sorry

solar current
#

"C'est surtout à cause" and not "c'est surtout a cause"

weak junco
#

i can actually change it to the french sort of keyboard but then it doesn't function correctly

solar current
weak junco
#

how can I learn where to put the accents? my teacher never put emphasis or said they were that important

solar current
#

a = verb have (il a un livre = he has a book)

à = used for introduction for another complement (like localisation)
"Je vais à l'école" i am going to the school

solar current
weak junco
weak junco
solar current
#

you have to learn where use accent or not xd
Like "why do we use é, è or e" same for "à and a", for "où and ou"

weak junco
#

not the rest

#

e.g. overcrowded (surcharge) - i don't rlly know where to put it

#

maybe surchargé

solar current
#

yea

weak junco
#

or maybe the accent faces the other way

solar current
#

surchargé is good

weak junco
#

it's kind of confusing

solar current
#

er and é?

weak junco
#

oh no like

#

when to put the accents, and when not to

solar current
#

"overloaded" = surchargé
"overload" = surcharge

weak junco
solar current
#

I think somes words are just.. like they are? PES4_1IQ
Xd idk, but i don't think there is an explication why do we say "étage" and not "etagé"

weak junco
#

ahh lol alr

solar current
#

That's just how words are made i guess, maybe someone else have the answer but i don't

#

for certains é/è/e we can explain it, but not all

weak junco
#

so I should just

#

memorise it?

solar current
#

xd yea i guess

weak junco
#

kk

#

i'll do that

#

@solar current are there any more errors in my sentences?

solar current
#

not for 7/8/9/10 i corrected them

#

(maybe i miss somes errors but i dont think so)

weak junco
#

kk np

solar current
#

Have something else to do rn, but if you want to correct yourself i think you can find somes websites for it

weak junco
#

i'm not aware of those or i would've just used them 😭

solar current
#

type "correcteur français", you should find somes of them 👍

#

reverso is a good one

weak junco
#

THANKS lol
