Bonjour Aurélie et Cécile,

I have 2 questions.

1/ As your explanation, we have 2 different ways of saying the same thing. Thus, why is it just nearly correct when I say:” Ils ont besoin d’occuper leurs jours à autre chose? The right answer in the test is” Ils .... à quelque chose d’autre”.

2/ How about to say autre chose/ quelque chose d’autre in plural?E.g.: I’d like to choose the other things.

Merci beaucoup.

As I understand, a normally silent consonant at the end of a word should be pronounced if the following word starts with a vowel.

 Could you please explain why this does not happen with the S and O in the expression 'au caS Où

Thank you

I was taking a quiz involving 'dans' and this was the sentence:  

Lucien est dans l'avion pour Paris.

Why is is not "à Paris?"  Sorry, it doesn't really relate to 'dans.'

Thanks.

Je déteste quand je connaise une bonne réponse mais je choisis une réponse mauvaise parce que je dépêche!  J'ai besoin de lire chaque réponse en avance de choisir une réponse.  oh la la la la la la la ! :)
