“A corner-kick” would be a useful addition to the list !

This was a fun exercise. I really enjoyed learning about la montee des marches and seeing the beautiful photographs of Cannes while researching the vocabulary.

My question refers to the "hotel de luxe". Since the "stars" are plural wouldn't one assume that they leave their "luxury hotels", (plural)? Which would be: "leurs hotels de luxe" ? Or, is the possessive here always expressed in the singular, "leur hotel de luxe"? 

Another question is about the use of the present tense in "j'admire". Would it be incorrect to say, "...que j'admirais depuis toujours"

Merci beaucoup !!

I tried to use the latter and I believe that it was not accepted.  Is there a distinction such that it's usage in this context would be inappropriate?  Thanks.

Thanks.

My petit quiz question was Nous mettrons la table ... which was translated as "We'll lay the table ..."  In the US, we use "set" not "lay," the latter having an uncomfortable connotation!

In this text, the adverb "necessarily" in the sentence "I don't believe that it is necessarily a negative concept" is translated only as "necessairement", without "forcément" being one of the alternatives.  When would you use one adverb rather than the other?

I appreciate the attempt but for me this project has been a failure.  I still have no idea what I would be eating.  I have so many questions about this last menu that I don't even know where to start.  I am not even clear about the cost.  So frustrating! 

Je ne l'aime pas vs. Je n'aime pas ça 

Why are these not inter-changeable?  

Merci de clarifier! 😊

Bonjour Aurélie

What will be the correct pronom relatif in this sentence?

Je dois retourner au bureau,........... j'ai oublié mes clés.
