And while we're on that question, the correctEnglish option, you decorated your flat, is not available. You did decorate your flat is a bizarre emphatic response to a conversation that goes something like ' Who decorated your flat?' 'We did' 'Oh, I was told it was done for you. So you did decorate your flat.' It's such an odd thing to say it's hard to construct a piece of fiction to illustrate it.
Bonjour. My husband and I will be in France in a few weeks and are renting a car. We’ll be in the Dordogne region on rural roads and even after reading about it I still don’t understand about stopping for cars entering from the right. It seems impractical to stop at every intersection on a road when a small road on the right has a car. Any hints on how this works ? Thank you. I’m using Lawless to work seriously on my French but am scared about driving as I’m only around a B1 level.
