Plural of "terres"Great exercise! This wonderful description of Le volcan de la Reunion reminds me of when I lived and worked in Guatemala - a magical and beautiful country with many volcanoes. Every evening, we could see the active volcanoes burning and glowing against the night sky. Like I said, magical!
I just want to ask why "nouvelles terres" is plural. Of course, I am familiar with "la terre" meaning "the earth". When I researched the meaning of "une terre" (as opposed to "la terre"), the translation given was "land". So, I wrote "quarante-cinq hectares de nouvelle terre". Which I take it would mean: "45 hectares of new land". Is this incorrect or are both variations, correct?
Merci et Bonne Continuation !
P.S. Took a break for several weeks, (for personal reasons), but glad to be back. Love this community of positive and supportive learners!
Why is it 'des' and not 'd'' (since it means 'of years' and not 'of the years')?
For this statement: "Est-ce ta trousse? - Oui, c'est la mienne."
Why are we using "c'est" if it is about a specific item (the pencil case). In the previous lesson, if we know exactly what we're talking about we should use il/elle.
Thanks
Could you help me find a reference to understanding the use of prepositions before infinitives (I understand prepositions after).
Also, I read the question as 'after months of wearing', but can à be used for the preposition 'of'?

Hi , which is correct and why
Quels livres avez-vous lus ? Or

I searched ‘Dix-neuf heures et demie’ on Google, and they said you can say it, but it is the informal way. Can you tell me why it still can be used, but it was not accepted as a correct answer? Thanks so much for your understanding.
What would "some teacher" be in french if not -"un professeur"?
If it was "some teachers", It would have been ... something else?
