Les autres modes de transport utilisent "dans". Un wagon du métro et un wagon du train sont similaires. Cependant, le métro utilise "dans" et le train utilise "sur". Pourquoi?

It’s some consolation to me, having read all the submissions, that I’m not the only one having difficulty with this concept. Has the reconstruction, promised a year ago, been implemented yet? If not, may I make a suggestion? How about, instead of asking "If she could fly, she would go to the moon.", ask instead "If she was able to fly, she would go to the moon.”?

Hello! When I went through this question (very carefully), I noticed that 'une' was actually 'a', not 'the', so I missed it out. But, as the results came in, the test said that I had selected 'une', and that i didn't select the answer 'le'! What's happening?! I don't understand.

Why must 'vous' be used in this example?  The speaker might just as well be addressing a single friend, in which case wouldn't 'toi' be correct?

Est-ce que le verbe gambader utilise l'objet indirecte? (qui lui gambadait)  Merci

What do the preposition à and de Mean Un the Following sentences ?

Je parle à mon copain

In "it is going to cook the yolk" the verb has an object so it used transitively. Shouldn't the French be "faire cuire" rather than just "cuire"?
