For the English "He put his hands in his pockets." I wrote "Il met les mains dans ses poches." however, it was corrected to "Il met les mains dans les poches.".
This doesn't seem correct to me however I cannot find the example again in the exercises.
Would anybody be able to advise?
At the very start, why is it « ...as-tu prévu quelque chose pour le week-end ? » and not « ...as-tu planifié quelque chose pour le week-end ? » ?
What is the difference between the verb « prévoir » and « planifier » ?
"complimentaient" - I would have thought that "compliment..." would agree with "sa peau", singular, and not "des lèvres" and "de magnifiques cheveux", plural. Is it because "complimentaient" is in a que clause with lèvres and cheveux?
Great exercise on the whole. I will say (and this is likely because my ears are novices) that I still can't hear the "ne" in "si ça ne te dérange pas ?" I heard the "pas" so assumed it was there.
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
Some advice please on when to use vouloir in the present versus the conditional for "I want". In English, insofar as I know, we don't distinguish between "I want" and "I would like". On second though, perhaps "I want" expresses a slightly stronger desire.
Anyone know the meaning of oudoré?
It means golden according to Google translate.
The above question linked to this page, though it’s not one of the examples given (can’t find "il y a longtemps" elsewhere on the site)
It’s translated as "This story happened a long time ago" and I’m wondering why it’s not "a very long time ago", or is "très" needed for the distant past?
