Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

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.

Please help🙏

raw juniper
#

You have to put de/d'.

worthy fjord
#

Alright I was wondering if so

#

Thank you

#

No des?

raw juniper
#

No, every indefinite article turns into de/d' in a negative sentence.

#

Again, picture = image, photo.

#

We don't say wiggle in French at all. Use place instead.

worthy fjord
#

I wasn't sure if it was plular like pictures if I needed des

#

I have just kept picture because that's what he has told us and shown us

worthy fjord
#

Also how come we use de even though its not like we are saying the word any or a in the negative form?

#

Abhh okay thank you

worthy fjord
raw juniper
#

Like I said, des (a plural indefinite article) turns into de in a negation.

#

Il y a des villes => il n'y a pas de villes

worthy fjord
#

Ahh okay thank you

#

I'm sorry

#

Is this right other than picture and wiggle

opal locust
#

I think "wiggle" is either random or specifying they mean the space something occupies (and linking it to "wiggle room") and not an entire room of a building

#

But yes the "de" are good

worthy fjord
#

Ah okay thank you

#

So sorry again but thank you both💗

worthy fjord
#

Hi again😓

#

Are these right? I'm so sorry

First image
(5) 'tired' would be « fatigué ». « sommeil » would be 'sleepy'. Do note that in that case it should be « avoir sommeil » like « J'ai tellement sommeil (I am so sleepy) ».
(7) When you're talking about temperature, you use « avoir » like (8). « Ils sont chauds » does exist but it can either mean 'They are passionate' or, well, 'They are hot (sexy/attractive)'.
(11) You're missing the verb.

opal locust
#

You could see "sommeil" as "sleep" or "sleepiness", neither of which would work with être in this case

On (16), while it is right, I do want to highlight a slight nuance: If by 'student' you mean high school student, you'll use « élève » but if you mean university student, you'll use « étudiant ». Without further context, either one is right but should there be a situation where it's clearly stated that someone is in university or not, that distinction would be important

opal locust
#

Idk if I've heard chaud used for attractive

inner swallow
#

As a general rule when it comes to feelings, you have this structure of « avoir + noun »

#

J'ai peur = I am scared (lit. I have fear)
J'ai sommeil = I am sleepy (lit. I have sleepiness)
J'ai soif = I am thirsty (lit. I have thirst)
J'ai chaud = I am hot (lit. I have heat)

inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

Oh no so I suck😭

opal locust
#

I'm not sure what synonym for attractive could work there

inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

To be honest this stuff I don't really know

#

The assignment was weirdly already done and I saw some things wrong and fixed what I noticed but

inner swallow
#

3 wrong out of 16 is a good score

inner swallow
worthy fjord
opal locust
#

Être chaud can mean a whole bunch of things - physically hot to the touch (not "feeling heat internally"), being up for something, being difficult, being aroused

worthy fjord
#

Here are the notes I were given

opal locust
worthy fjord
inner swallow
opal locust
#

Ok i see

#

That makes sense

inner swallow
# worthy fjord

In spite of there being notes, it's ultimately still a foreign language and it's totally normal to not have this in mind every time you interact with the language

#

It just means that you have to work on them

worthy fjord
#

Knowing my teacher he definitely means hot in temperature, not looks

worthy fjord
inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

Oh I'm sorry

inner swallow
#

dw about it

worthy fjord
#

Thank you, I think I understand but don't run away yet😭😭

worthy fjord
inner swallow
#

You don't say 'I am tiredness', you say 'I am tired', right? You use the adjective 'tired' and not the noun 'tiredness'

#

Same rule here

opal locust
#

It's just that in some cases french doesn't have an adjective for the concept while English does, so you'll get formulations like "to have sleepiness/hunger"

worthy fjord
opal locust
#

Sommeil is sleep or sleepiness

inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

See I didn't type all of this like I said it was already typed and I went in a fixed what popped out to me. I don't know why he did it this way

worthy fjord

I think I fixed it if someone will check

@hollow flint Merci de répondre dans les fils qui sont déjà créés en dessous de la question à laquelle tu réponds !

De plus, il vaudrait mieux aussi répondre avec des raisons pour lesquelles tu as mis tes corrections au lieu d'écrire que les corrections

(5) You need to change the verb. « fatigué » is an adjective so we need to use « être » here. As a general rule, if you see that final « é », it's possible that it would be an adjective. Also, when you have adjectives in play, they have to agree with the noun they're modifying. If the noun is feminine and plural, for example, the adjective must be feminine and plural as well. Ex:
« Les nouvelles voitures »
=> « voitures » is feminine and plural so the adjective « nouveau » becomes « nouvelles » which is its feminine and plural form
« Le siège fort »
=> « siège » is masculine and singular so the adjective « fort » stays as « fort » which is its masculine and singular form.
(7) Since you have « avoir » here, « chaud » would be a noun and thus no agreement needed. Notice that underneath you said « elles ont froid », not « froides ».
(11) « Il a souffre », you have two verbs here, « avoir » and « souffrir ». You have to pick either « avoir mal (to be in pain) » or « souffrir (to suffer) », not both.

# worthy fjord I can use être even though he wants avoir in that?

You have to look at the word that follows the verb. If it is an adjective, you use « être »; if it's a noun, you use « avoir ». Since your original answer used a noun (sommeil), you had to use « avoir » and not « être ». This time, however, you switched out the noun (sommeil) for an adjective (fatigué) which means that you have to use « être » and not « avoir ».

worthy fjord
#

Ahh wel I need to use avoir so I should change the noun back

inner swallow
#

Yes, change it back into the original noun

worthy fjord
#

Do all my secentences use avoir? Other than the 3 that need fixed

inner swallow
#

Here's an example of that avoir/être thing:
« J'ai peur / Je suis apeuré »

#

peur = noun (la peur = the fear)
apeuré = adjective (être apeuré = to be frightened, scared)

#

It's just that in French we tend to prefer the « avoir + noun » construction

#

Oh wait

#

I just noticed something

worthy fjord
#

Oh no💔

inner swallow
#

Number 9) I feel like a pizza

worthy fjord
#

Just murder me💔

inner swallow
#

Okay to be fair

worthy fjord
#

That one I was really stuck on

inner swallow
#

I would have understood 'I feel like a pizza' as how you did as well

#

It took me out a bit when I saw it the first time

#

and it wasn't until I really looked into the table you gave that I realised it

worthy fjord
#

Yeah I was confused bc that was what was originally down but then the table was different

worthy fjord
inner swallow
#

In English I would've probably said, 'I fancy a pizza' or 'I feel like having a pizza'

worthy fjord
#

I thought it meant like

#

I feel like a pizza

#

Like I am a pizza

#

YK?

inner swallow
#

yes exactly

worthy fjord
#

So it is wrong?

worthy fjord
worthy fjord
inner swallow
#

wdym

worthy fjord
#

I'm sorry like

#

The non () being left and the () being right

#

Like peur = noun I mean left
(La peur= the fear) I mean right

inner swallow
#

That's just the meaning

#

The primary concern is « peur / apeuré »

worthy fjord
#

OH WAIT

#

I see now I'm sorry

#

Is all my secentences in the avoir format other than the ones that are being fixed?

inner swallow
#

Yes

#

so (9) and (11) would have to be reworked

worthy fjord
#

Are 5 and 7 right now?

inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

Yippie

#

Let me try 11

#

Is

#

Should it be souffre or mal

#

Bc on the chart it says mal

#

But there was originally the souffre

#

Ik mal is bad but

inner swallow
#

Okay so « mal » is an adverb meaning 'badly'

#

The expression « avoir mal » literally means 'to have (it) badly' but it's figuratively understood as 'to be in pain'

worthy fjord
#

So should I probably change it to mal?

inner swallow
#

Yes

worthy fjord
#

Is Il mal wrong?

#

Or wait

#

Il a mal?

inner swallow
#

You got it right on the money

worthy fjord
#

He is in pain?

inner swallow
#

yup

#

« il mal » would just be

#

'he badly'

#

which doesn't make sense

worthy fjord
#

I thought we needed the a but then I was confused bc earlier it was mentioned how I had 2 of something

#

So now im stuck on 9😓

inner swallow
#

I said earlier that you were missing the verb

worthy fjord
#

Ohhh okay I'm sorry thank you

inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

Is this right?

inner swallow
#

« avoir envie » ? yeah

worthy fjord
inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

I'm sorry I meant my image it just wasn't sent yet

inner swallow
#

All you need to do is make « de + une » contract

worthy fjord
worthy fjord
inner swallow
inner swallow
#

it's just shorthand to distinguish between nouns regarding people (qqn = quelqu'un / sb = somebody) and regarding things (qqch = quelque chose / smth = something)

worthy fjord
#

Ohh okay I'm sorry thank you

inner swallow
worthy fjord
#

Yayyy

#

One final check?

inner swallow
#

Looks great to me

worthy fjord
#

Yayyyy

#

Thank you so much I mean it

#

You were so helpful

#

Also they all followed avoir, correct?

inner swallow
#

Yes
