In the sentence J'adore la vie à la montagne, I translate that as I love the life in the mountains. I was wondering why it isn't J’adore la vie dans les montagnes. Could anyone explain please?
Merci beaucoup
Is there a lesson on this apparent "être + [date]" phase? Can I say "je suis 2 décember" seemingly meaning "today is 2 December"?
Cannot find anything on this topic on the Internet :( Thank you!
There is a sentence " Ma mère nous a récompensés pour __nous être comportés______ correctement." in the tests for this lesson.
Where do you place adverbs with the passive voice verb. The placement of "correctement" at the end could be justified because it is a "long" adverb. But it also does modify the verb "se comporter". Where would an adverb like "bien" go?
How come the "dix" was pronounced like "di"? I thought the "x" was pronounced at the end.
Thank you!
In this sentence why is it not 'était fournie', to agree with 'une paire'?:
une paire de boules Quiès étaient fournies
When do you use the definite article with countries and regions?There's a kwiziq lesson about this: Using le, la, l', les with continents, countries & regions names (definite articles)
But in the text, country and region names are never accompanied by the definite article. E.g., "Duché de Bretagne," "royaume de France," "couronne de France," etc.
Also, I translated "beforehand" as "à l'avance" instead of "au préalable," which I thought were the same thing, but it wasn't one of the accepted answers.
