Your translation of 'Le monde aurait bien besoin de quelq'un...' sounds to me more like 'The world really needs someone..' rather than the stated 'The world could really use someone. What do you think of 'Le monde pourrait bien utiliser quelq'un...'
J'ai choisi de faire .... qui combine langue, littérature et civilisation étrangères, Why do the three subject nouns not include a definite article ?
Why is it "là" instead of "ici"?
HI,
I have been reading the responses to the questions below. Am I correct to assume that the way to use the indefinite articles with negation is if it's a general statement?
For example.
J'aime ni le café ni le thé
Je veux ni fromage ni oignon
Merci

Is there a way to save these lists as PDF
"Papaoutai" = "Papa où t'es"?
I am reading an easy french novel and am confused about the grammer in these instances:
Il ne vous reste qu'a (with accent acute) vous enfuir.
qu'est-ce que j'ai a (with accent acute) perdre
why is the enfuir not conjugated, and preceded by the a?
why do you need the a before the perdre?
thanks for your help
Jill
...in the following:
“et qui lui ont promis de lui montrer la vie...”
“et qui lui ont promis de lui faire découvrir la vie...”
Is this (a) a mistake, (b) just my ears missing the sound, or (c) a natural French abbreviation (a bit like “tu as” being pronounced as “ta”)?
Qui fait les mots "à ce que" dans la phrase suivant: "Vous aurez pu le rejoindre d'ici à ce que je sorte du travail"?
I'm inferring from the context that "clou" here means something like "highlight" or perhaps "grand finale", but I was unable to anything like this sense in the reference materials that I have on hand. "The nail of this stay" doesn't make a lot of sense to me, so I figure it has to mean something else.
Help in sorting this out will be appreciated.
