I note the examples of needing to go shopping use
J’ai besoin d’aller faire les courses. Je dois aller faire les courses.
Another lesson on shopping used faire les courses without a preceding “aller”. Is there a difference in meaning?b.
I was wondering how you would put combien into a question with inversion; and I couldn't find any lessons adressing this specifically. This occurred to me while thinking about the question "How many words in the dictionary?" Would it be:
Combien de mots la dictionnaire a-t-elle?
Combien la dictionnaire a-t-elle de mots?
La dictionnaire a-t-elle combien de mots?
Or would it be something different?
Anyway, I just need to ease my curiosity.
Selon Grevisse, on n'est pas obligé d'accorder "on" au féminin ou au pluriel quand le sujet est bien défini et féminin ou pluriel (voire les deux).
Bonjour,
I was wondering in the examples above what the difference is between using en and dans la in these sentences?
Je suis en classe
I'm in class
Je suis dans la classe
I'm in the classe
Is it because the sentence has I'm in THE classe so you use dans + la?
Also is there any exercises such as worksheets with this lesson or any other lessons for prepositions?
Thanks
Nicole
I was marked incorrect for writing , which is perfectly good French. Is there a nuance I missed?
I loved this exercise. No idea how long you've been offering it, but I'll be looking for more of them going forward.
Thank you!
I have tried to figure out why some words in the example sentences are in bold and some are underlined, but I don't get it and I can't find it in FAQ or anything.
