Salut! I am stuck with a homework question.
Directions: Put each phrase in logical order. Use passe compose when necessary.
ne/pas/perdre/votre argent
I think it would be:
Ne perdu pas votre argent.
Or should I not use passe compose?
Merci!
This looks like a command = Don't lose your money.
Ne perdez pas votre argent.
IF you want the passé composé = you did not lose your money.
Vous n'avez pas perdu votre argent.
Sra (aka Mme)
Merci! Can you correct these for me too?
1.Hier, Paul a perdu son portefeuille au centre commercial.
2.Quand notre pere travaille, nous repondons au telephone.
3.Mes parents ont vendu leur voiture bleu la derniere semaine.
4.Michel a vendu des bonbons pour gagner de l'argent.
Merci! Vous etes tres gentille!
Don't forget the necessary accents,
pere = père & répondons téléphone
voiture bleue & dernière
êtes très!!!
If you need the chart on how to make accents with a PC, let me know.
Sra (aka Mme)
i copied and pasted all the accents onto word, so i just use that, but whenever i try to do that on here, it says i can't post websites on here, but i know where to put them.
Merci bien!
Salut! In order to put the phrase "ne/pas/perdre/votre argent" in logical order, you should use the passé composé tense. However, the correct order of the words would be "Ne perdez pas votre argent." Here's why:
1. First, let's identify the subject: "vous". Since it is an imperative form (command), the subject pronoun "vous" is omitted, but it is implied.
2. Next, we need to determine the verb. The verb in this phrase is "perdre," which means "to lose."
3. The negation is indicated by "ne...pas." So, the negative form for "perdre" would be "ne perdez pas."
4. Lastly, we add the object, which is "votre argent." This means "your money."
Putting all these elements together, the correct order is "Ne perdez pas votre argent."
Remember, the passé composé tense is used to express completed actions in the past, so it is appropriate in this context. Hope that helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
