La Dune du Pilat Grammar question and size of Dune ?Thank you for this fun exercise. I had never heard of the Dune du Pilat. I looked it up and it is beautiful!
Grammar Question:
In the sentence:
"Comme son nom l'indique, c'est une immense dune de sable", where is the grammar lesson for using the pronoun " l' " in this case? The two pronoun lessons listed don't address this particular usage of the pronoun. Since there isn't a previous idea stated, what does the 'l' refer to? I seem to remember a lesson about this, but couldn't find it in the library. Would it be correct to say, "Comme son nom indique, c'est une immense dune de sable."?
Also, when I read, "Elle mesure environ 102 metres !", I was thinking of the length not the height.
Maybe the phrase could be amended to say, "Elle mesure 102 metres de hauteur." ?
Just for fun, here are the entire measurements from the Wikipedia page:
"The dune has a volume of about 60,000,000 m³, measuring around 500 m wide from east to west and 2.7 km in length from north to south (1.35 km2).[2][3] Its height was 106.60 m above sea level as of 2018."
Merci beaucoup !
How would you say "someone hadn't lived there since [insert year]"
Why is it 'on en achètera une fois qu'on sera arrivés" and Not 'on en achètera une fois qu'on arrivera"
I keep pressing submit answer when I really mean to press play again so end up submitting no answer but can’t go back to the previous stage or start the exercise again. It would be easier if the play button was at the bottom. I’m using an iPad.
Is féerique a possibility in the last line?
I was wondering if anéantir could be used in this context as a possible substitute for écraser. Thanks.
I would think that this would follow the rule of feminine place names getting en, but I keep hearing people say « dans la Nouvelle-Écosse » instead of « en Nouvelle-Écosse » like I would expect
I don't understand "Il ne me restait plus qu'à cacher les oeufs." What is the use of "qu' à"?
Je pense que les hints (? en francais) sont pour la dernière éxércise?
