French language Q&A Forum

Qu’on puisse avoir autant de désordre..   why the subjunctive? I thought with this kind of construction the meaning should shift to 'whether' or 'regardless' Que..  Subjonctif

For example: "Marie achète du café"

Le café is a location and a drink.

Couldn't this sentence means both "Marie buys a coffee" and "Marie buys from the cafe"?

How do we know when "de" refers to "from" and when it refers to "some"?

Thank you!

Bonjour Madame Cécile,

In the lesson, there are two sentences as-

“Je suis en classe.” And “Je suis dans la classe.” I am unable to understand the difference in both of them as how the first is a general statement and the second is for a specific location . Please expain the reason in a little detail. I will be really grateful.

Merci d’avance.

(Madame, I have gone through the discussions but am still perplexed.)

By GDP La Californie as of 2018 is 50% richer than Le Texas.  (Probably why so many French people live in L.A.!)

By median income Le Texas doesn't even make the Top 10.  The top 3 are 1. Le New Hampshire  2. Le Minnesota 3. Le Hawaii.

Just thought you would like to know ...  :- )

The correct grammar would be to say: None of them is.... i.e. 'none' is treated as singular and hence the use of 'is' and not 'are'. Thanks again for a fantastic French course!

Bonjour,

In the sentence from the lesson which reads-

“Vous allez aux Etats-Unis.” Here the acute accent on ‘E’ is missing .  Should it not be as “États-Unis”?
