"I will pass through Paris." Is one of the below incorrect? Why?
- Je passerai par Paris.
- Je passerai à travers Paris.
I'm sorry, but this is a terrible example sentence. Who on earth would refer to walking their dog as "taking a walk with" their dog? The dog has no independence. It doesn't join you for a walk the same way your friend Julie might.
The example sentence should be changed to:
Anne et Antoine promènent leur chien.
You can have the same answer choices, but the correct answer would be "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." Which is a sentence you might say in real life, as opposed to "They're taking a walk with their dog" which no one said ever.
J'ai des chocolats dans ma poche. (I have some chocolates in my pockets.)
Could you explain why the translation is "my pockets" rather than "my pocket"?
Thank you
Looking at the multiple comments below, this recording could do with being redone. Not a fan of a 'throw them in the deep end' approach to language learning. Being stretched is one thing, but there is a risk of snapping!How would I say, " Reading is my favorite pass-time, it relaxes me"? Where "it" refers to reading.
Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.
However, I was marked incorrect.
I use to play golf with my grandfather
My questions is why the correct answer is "une petite place..." instead of "de petite place" since it's after a negation.
