French

rjkz [21]2 years ago

Answer:

The main reason for the large number of French words in English can be chalked up to another invasion: the Norman Invasion of 1066, when William the Conqueror (Guillaume le Conquerant in French) staked his claim to the British throne and won it in the Battle of Hastings

Bonjour



"We sometimes will make the past participle agree with the direct object"


TRUE


With "être" the past participle always agrees with she subject.

ex= il est arrivé / elle est arrivée // ils sont arrivés / elles sont arrivées


With "avoir" the past participle agrees with  the direct object <em>OR</em> direct object pronoun  <em>ONLY if they are before the passé composé form tense.</em>

J' ai vu mes frères. <em>(doesn't agree because the direct object is after the verb)             BUT   ---> Je </em><em>les</em><em> ai vu</em><em>s</em>

<em>J'ai vu mes sœurs . ---->Je </em><em>les</em><em> ai vu</em><em>es.</em>

<em>J'ai lu des livres ----------> </em><em>Les livres </em><em>que j'ai lu</em><em>s</em>

<em>J'ai pris une assiette ----></em><em> l'assiette</em><em> que j'ai pris</em><em>e</em>


hope this helps<em> ☺☺☺</em>

What kind of building was the “bastille” before it was stormed?
scZoUnD [109]
Hi !!


Before it was stormed the "Bastille" was a fortress known as the "Bastille Saint Antoine".

It used to be a state prison for the kings of France

Formerly it was called "Fort et Bastide Saint Antoine lez Paris" (built between 1356 and 1358) .I'm sorry, my English is too poor to explain what 'bastide' means.. but the word 'Bastille' is derived from it. A 'bastide' is a mansion in south of France or an element of a fortification. So it was just a small castle with two towers.

In 1367 the king Charles VII decided to build fotifications around it to make  a real castle with walls around it and eight towers.

The story is quite long....

When Louis XI became king of France, it began to be occasionnally a prison.
Le cardinal de Richelieu officially turned it into a jail around 1600.

well anyway, before it was stormed, La Bastille was a fortress and was used as a prison ....


Hope this will help :)
