Why can't I write "Ton père est dans la prison.?
I think "dans la" & "en" both work in this example. My reasoning is that prison is a physical place.
Is certaines different to many French adjectives in it doesn't go to -nne in the feminine.
I spelt it certainnes
I came across this question in the quizzes. Why are these two sentences correct? One uses the feminine form and the other the masc. They are both referencing the time in the past. How does one determine if it is about the duration or precise moment?
“J’ai passé la journée avec Martin.”
I spent a day with Martin
“J’ai passé un an en Espagne quand j’avais dix-neuf ans.”
I spent a year in Spain when I was 19
In "J'aurais pu changer ..." I kept hearing and "l" in "pu." Did anybody else hear this, too?
Instead of 'elle n'a pas remarqué quand le train s'est arrêté', would a French person ever say 'elle ne l'a pas remarqué quand le train s'est arrêté'?
Est-ce que créer un verbe transitif? (to create something)
Pourquoi y a-t-il un "de" apres "créer" dans la phrase?
Why is it "de jolies cartes romantiques " and not " des jolies cartes romantiques "? It seems like it should be parallel with "des boites" and "des bijoux". Thanks.
