j'ai faim pour la nourrive de mexicain ( i am hungry for mexican food).
did this make sense?
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.
Shouldn’t the adjective be plural to match the noun?
One of the examples in this lesson reads, "Tu vis en dehors de la ville." I was wondering about the distinction (if there is any, subtle though it may be) between saying that and saying, "Tu habites en dehors de la ville."
For the sentence, j'ai grandi en regardant les matches avec lui, how come it's not in the imparfait? He was growing up over a period of time, and watched several matches during this time, so it was a repeated action. I thought it should be imparfait. Please advise.
Based on the last example ("Oui, je le veux"), why can't you, in the first example, simply use the same construction, and say "Non, je ne le sais pas"?
In other words, when do you add in "le faire"? Is there a rule??
OK. I see that this has been asked and answered below. I still think that you could use either construction: (a) Non, je ne le sais pas. (b) Non, je ne sais pas le faire.
Similarly, it looks as if you can use both forms with the first example too: (a) Non, je ne sais pas le faire. (b) Non, je ne le sais pas.
To say in/during the afternoon, we use "dans"? (ex. Il y aura un vent frais dans l'après-midi). To say in/during the morning or evening, we don't use a preposition, correct? (ex. Je vais au marché le matin/ce matin).
"Ils sont en forme de crânes."
Why is it not, "Ils sont en forme des crânes." IOW why is the partitive singular de for the plural crânes ?
Why une brosse a dents and not aux because dents is plural?
