What is the function of 'ensuite' in this sentence? It doesn't seem to appear in the translation ' we then rested for a few hours'. Perhaps it should be 'we then rested together for a few hours.'?
I agree that this is a challenging lesson, and agree it’s a lot of information. Maybe a summary table (column 1 having each form of attendre, column 2 giving that form’s meaning/ translation, column 3 giving the sense, whether positive or negative) would help for quick review. I feel that by the time I get to the bottom of the list, I’ve forgotten the nuance of the definitions further up! A quick reference may help. Thanks for considering.
This was a fun exercise. I really enjoyed learning about la montee des marches and seeing the beautiful photographs of Cannes while researching the vocabulary.
My question refers to the "hotel de luxe". Since the "stars" are plural wouldn't one assume that they leave their "luxury hotels", (plural)? Which would be: "leurs hotels de luxe" ? Or, is the possessive here always expressed in the singular, "leur hotel de luxe"?
Another question is about the use of the present tense in "j'admire". Would it be incorrect to say, "...que j'admirais depuis toujours"
Merci beaucoup !!
Bonjour
1)A la place de dire 'tourner doucement' est-ce qu'on pourrait mettre ' tourner soigneusement' ou bien 'tourner attentivement'
2)Normalement on gare un véhicule . Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'expliquer l'emploi du verbe 'se garer'. Moi, j'ai écrit 'garer soi meme' (to park yourself)
Merci a l'avance et je vous souhaite une excellente journee !
There are lots of translated sentences in the notebook lessons. It would be handy to be able to blend out the french sentence so as to try translate the english sentence into the french as an exercise.
Why "s'illumine de lumieres colorees" and not "des lumieres colorees"?
I understand that "des" becomes "de" when the adjective precedes the noun that it is modifying, but in this case "colorees" is after "lumieres".
J'ai vu recemment la chanson avec video 'Sacre Charlemagne' sur YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-a22xge-c (1964). Ca me semblait une chanson charmante mais aussi un peu bizarre!
(Desole, mon ordinateur ne fait pas les accents)
What is the difference between using 'à' + infinitive to express a purpose and using 'pour' (as earlier in 'pour observer de petits insectes')?
