Correction: what's the difference in interpreting je/il/elle/le canard mange as "is eating" vs. "eats"
Nothing, really... Both are present tense so either should work when translating the present tense.
French does not have a present continuous tense, so both "he eats" and "he is eating" translate to "il mange".
Yes, This is imparfait
je mangeais-I ate
tu mangeais-You ate
il/elle mangeait-He/She ate
nous mangions-We ate
vous mangiez-You ate
ils/elles mangeaient-They ate
Also there is passé composé
j' ai mangé-I ate
tu as mangé-You ate
il/elle a mangé- He/She ate
nous avons mangé-We ate
vous avez mangé-You ate
ils/elles ont mangé-They ate
Since it uses la instead of une, "the pizza" would be the correct translation, not "a pizza"
Why would "The duck is eating the pizza" be wrong? Would not both be correct?
