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.

pulsar olive Sep 19, 2025, 5:48 PM

#

its bad for children to not eat their vegetables

#

idk i have to write a sentence using

#

c'est

#

so i chose to say something like that

pulsar nebula Sep 19, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

Not the simplest sentence

#

But that'd be c'est mal pour les enfants de ne pas manger leurs légumes

#

You can ask Deepl to make full sentences like that, it usually gets the grammar right

#

okay i kinda get it

pulsar nebula Sep 19, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

It's children in general so you need that definite article in French (corresponds to "the")

ashen karma Sep 19, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

okay

pulsar nebula Sep 19, 2025, 10:35 PM

#

The verb i infinitive so the ne pas is placed before it

#

Tbh that's just not a sentence for beginners
