I enjoyed this exercise and have similar questionsThis is an area that I have found to be a bit confusing for me: Why is it "une tarte aux pommes; une tarte aux peches" but "une tarte/sorbet au citron" etc...?
It is "un cafe au lait" but is it "une glace au cafe" for a coffee ice cream, (one of my favorites) ?
I know that I , for one, would really appreciate a lesson on these terms.
And, then there are all the food terms which use "de"; "du"; "de la" and "des" !
Help!
Par exemple - pouquoi est-ce qu'on dit "un sandwich au jambon" mais "un verre de vin" ?
May I suggest a lesson which addresses adjectives for foods and "la cuisine" ? After all France is known for its excellent cuisine!
I think it would be very helpful !
Merci a tous !
Small point. 'After studying for your exam..' 'use reviser' , it might be more accurate to use the common English expression, 'after revising for your exam'. Revising implies going over old material, studying usually means learning new material. IMHO
Could someone explain the phrase: "marechal des logis chef..." ?
If he is the chief or boss shouldn't it read: "le chef du/de la/d'...." ?
Merci !
Why is the future perfect used in this sentence: "Mais personne mieux que Claude Nougaro n'aura incarné..."?
Would present tense not work here?
...the text option “où, comme chaque année, nous avons fêté Noël.” has the audio “où nous avons fêté Noël.”
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?
Why not faire...
Why is it "bien que ton papa et moi soyons en manque de sommeil" rather than "bien que ton papa et moi ayons été en manque de sommeil"?
Please can someone explain why this isn’t ‘toutes simples?’
Merci!
