Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'EN ai pas le temps !

This is not a question about the subjunctive mood, but the sentence was an exercise of it, so I ask my question here.

What is the role of "en" in the following sentence: "Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'EN ai pas le temps !" Does it mean "I don't have the time for it."? Could you also just write "Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'ai pas le temps !" without the "en"?

DE LA or DES

"Je vais commonder des pates" is given as the correct answer. Des is used with countable nouns. Pasta is countable?? I suppose in theory it is, but in practice it is not.

Answer i don’t understand Ils m'ont manqué quand ils étaient partis. Was correct answer but I thought it said when you emotionally miss something it’s supposed to be manquer à. Isn’t missing someone when he left emotional? Thanks

Du instead of De

The question, "We come from Texas=Nous venons du Texas. How do I know which counties or regions or states are masculine. For example: We come from 'Alabama'. Is this masculine or feminine?

Merci!

Add more examples - avoir envie de or du/de la

Hi - As Adrian mentioned, this is not enough to explain the change from de to du

Note that de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it (e.g. of the).

Although Chris has offered good explanations in this Q&A forum - it should be in the lesson itself - Can you please add the variation.

'How would you say "five hundred thirty"?'

An Englishman (as distinct from an American) would say "five hundred AND thirty".

Please direct me to "The correction board if appropriate)

Confusing question

Questions including sentenses like "This bedroom is grey. - Yes, it's grey here." make absolutley no sense to me.

What is "Yes, it's grey here" referring to? The weather, or a completely different bedroom perhaps.

As I have no idea, I have to quess and and so keep getting the answer wrong.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what the question means by using different words.
