Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
Left sheet:
For 8-3, you wrote C but circled A. One of them is correct. Which one?
For 9-3, you did it wrong. Do you know what "tous les deux jours" means?
Right sheet:
For 12-4, it seems like you didn't follow the instruction properly.
Is 8-3 c?
Correct.
so it is ACCC?
Yep.
What do you mean, send me to the worksheet?
like ss and show u it again
Then sure.
No, only the fourth one, that's why I only said "12-4".
9-3 is still wrong, you have to use the expression between brackets in your answer.
do u mind if i ask u what those 2 are since its due in 10 minutes
9-3 is also wrong because you lacked the reflexive pronoun
« Je ne les lave pas tous les soirs »
(That's what you wrote, not the right answer)
Good catch, didn't even notice that.
Would i have to conjucate whats iside the brackets?
No, that's just to complete the answer
Plus, "tous les deux jours" isn't even a verb. I mean, how are you supposed to conjugate that?
Example
Question: Est-ce que tu te lèves à 6h chaque jour ? (Tu te lèves à 8h pendant le week-end)
Answer: Non, je me lève à 6h pendant les jours de semaine. Pendant le week-end, je me lève à 8h.
The bolded part serves to include the words enclosed in the brackets.
Actually, by that logic, 9-2 is also wrong
because the question is « se raser en premier » but the answer in the brackets is « se brosser les dents »
Could i say Oui, Il se brosser les dents en premier chaque martin? For 9-2
Should be « non » because the words in the brackets, the 'answer', is different from the question
Also, you need to conjugate that verb
Non, Il se ne brosse pas le dents en premier chaque matin
Okay so I'm going to explain the logic of 9-2 and 9-3. You have a question and what the answer should be within said brackets. In the example I wrote here, the question is about you waking up at 06.00 every morning but the answer is about you waking up at 08.00 in the weekends. Since the words in the brackets do not conform to the question, I answered with « non » because I don't wake up at 06.00 every morning only during weekdays. I then added the sentence in the brackets (bold) as additional information.
Let's look at 9-2.
« Est-ce que Youssef se rase en premier chaque matin ? (se brosser les dents) »
The verb in the question is « se raser » while the verb in the answer is « se brosser (les dents) ». Obviously, they don't match, so we answer it in the negative. First, you explain that Youssef doesn't shave every morning, he brushes his teeth instead.
Read my example again
ohh that makes a lot of sense
so according to the logic it woukd be Non, Il se rase pas en premier, se brosster les dents?
Close!
Il ne se rase pas en premier, mais il se brosse les dents
Don't forget to conjugate your verbs
The reason why I repeat the subject again is because we're adding another clause as seen with that conjunction « mais (but) »
Ohhhh haha thank u! I was just abt to ask what mais meant
Would 9-3 also be negative?
Look at the verb in the question and the verb in the brackets
Are they the same?
Or at least
okay so that would also be negative..?
got it!
The answer has an adverb of time, « tous les deux jours » so you look at any adverb of time in the question
We see « tous les soirs »
Do they match up?
Read again
tous les deux jours = every two days
tous les soirs = every evening
Still believe they're the same?
no, sorry
Non, Je ne lave les cheveux tous les soirs, mais tous les deux jours
Close!
You're missing the reflexive pronoun and the negative adverb
It's not « laver les cheveux », it's « se laver les cheveux »
Also, remember that negation is a two-parter; it's not just « ne », it's « ne … pas, ne … jamais, etc »
dang
okay so the correct sentence would be Non, je ne lave pas les cheveux tous les soirs, tous les deux jours
Again, you're missing the reflexive pronoun
You got the negation right though
Calm down, take a breath, read slowly
what would the reflexive pronoun be..?
You've been doing that this entire time
Je me lève, tu te lèves, il se lève, nous nous levons, vous vous levez, ils se lèvent
There, that's the reflexive pronoun
When an object pronoun is the same person as the subject pronoun, it's reflexive
oh sorry!
Je me lève
Je = first person
me = first person
Conclusion: reflexive
Je te lève
Je = first person
te = second person
Conclusion: NOT reflexive
Okay! I think I know the last one
Non, je ne me lave les cheveux tous les soirs, mais tous les deux jours
Calm down
Reread everything
Did you notice what’s wrong here?
you got the reflexive right
But you’re missing something else
Hint: ||Why is « ne » alone? Negation is a two-parter, remember?||
Non, je ne me pas lave les cheveux, mais tous les deux jours.
The second part of a negation is an adverb, and adverbs tend to come after a verb
I’ve already said that you got the negation right in this one
Calm down and take a breath, reread your sentence before posting because you could’ve got that the second part is misplaced
You even got it right in 9-1:
« Non, nous ne nous maquillons pas avant de nous habiller. »
That’s the right position
Okay.. im kinda confused..
pas is not where it belongs
it is non, je ne me lave pas cheveux tous les soirs, mais tous les deux
See this is why you have to reread because every time you get one bit right, something else goes wrong
You got the reflexive pronoun, good
You got the negation, good
But why is the adverb missing in the second part? « tous les deux » ? Tous les deux what?
jours
Good, so the complete sentence is?
Non, je ne me lave pas cheveux tous les soirs, mais tous les deux jours.
Finally you got it!
THANK U SOOOOO MUCH
I’m not being deliberately hard on you here, you really have to calm down and pay attention
