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
What is the function of “la” in the following please? “sur lequel je ferai la mise en place de mes plats”. Should I read this as (in a clunky way) “sur lequel je ferai/on which I will make” “la mise en place/the installation of” “de mes plats/of my plates”.
My new school bag is blue and yellow….Mon nouveau cartable est jaune et bleu :
Is it because manquer implies nagativity?
Looking at the answers tells me that this was an exercise about ‘faire mal’ and ‘faire du mal’ but my use of the verb ‘blesser’ was correct. Wasn’t it? Maybe I shouldn’t use blesser in this context. Correction welcome.
This is given as a version of 'we are only waiting for Mum to join us'.
But couldn't it also mean 'we are no longer waiting for Mum to join us'?
Hello, can you explain more of the difference between "revenir" and "retourner"? I was using "Je revenais à Toulouse" and "Je retournais avec une valise" but it appears to be the opposite. Thank you.
Bonjour! I have two questions related to the first sentence of this exercise. Firstly, why does the first part of the sentence translate to 'Lille is less than two hours away by train' when the original sentence to translate was 'Lille is less than a couple hours away' (i.e. no specific duration). Additionally, why do we use 'ce qui en fait' instead of 'ce que le fait'? Merci beaucoup!
I wrote
Nous nous rencontrons
instead of 'nous nous rejoignons / nous nous retrouvons
is it fine?
merci
