French letter, does this make sense? Need extra words.?
Chère Mme Parsons,

Je ne peux pas venir (the french lesson on tuesday) parce que je suis très malade. J'ai mal à la tête et je tousse tout le temps. J'ai mal à la gorge et j'ai froid. J'ai mal à la oreille et j'ai mal à la jambe. Aussi j'ai de le fièvre. Je suis aller à la pharmacie et je suis rester au lit.

Je suis désolée.

Je vous prie d'agréer, Madame, l'expression de mes sentiments respectueux.


HOW DO YOU SAY THE WORDS IN BRACKETS?!

This makes perfect sense, you just made a few mistakes : you would say "l'oreille" (you contract the definite article in front of a vowel), and "fièvre" is feminine, so you would say "la fièvre".



You also made a spelling mistake on the past participles : "Je suis allé" and "je suis resté" (Add an "e" at the end of those words if you are a girl, "je suis restée")



Then, if you are a girl, your "Je suis désolée" is correct, but if you are a boy, you will have to get rid of the "e" at the end of "désolé" ;)



Finally, you would say "au cours de français mardi" to translate the phrase in brackets.\



(Hope you feel better :D)

For the 1st one, i think of the 2d determination sounds greater French For the 2d, i'm ninety consistent with cent specific that the 2d is greater desirable :) I have been given your letter (final) Saturday => J'ai recu ta lettre Samedi (dernier) (there's a cedille on the c there) (i think of that's good, nonetheless i'm going to be incorrect.)

Haha, vous avez beaucoup de doléances.



Je dirais, "je ne pourrai pas venir au cours de français ce mardi..."

Never mind the words in brackets. You are in a bad way, mon ami.
