if ‘avoir envie de’ can be used as an alternative to ‘avoir besoin de’ for saying ‘needs to go to the bathroom’, why can’t it also be used for ‘needs to take a day off’? Isn’t it all down to context in both cases?

Je sais que cette phrase est correct mais je ne sais pas pourquoi.  Selon mon connaisance de ce sujet AUQUEL est à + lequel. 

donc le verbe ici c'est une locution FAIRE PEUR. est-ce que la structure de ce verbe est faire peur à qqn? si non pourquoi il a utilisé auquel et pas lequel?

I don't understand "Il ne me restait plus qu'à cacher les oeufs." What is the use of "qu' à"?

I was doing an Alevel french translation and encountered this. I could guess the meaning ‘24 free services are offered’ but I don’t get why the word order is like this. 

What to do if there is only a noun and not a pronoun.

HI,

My friend and I were wondering who would be correct. 

She said: The sentence would be vous venez à hurt heures ce soir?

But, I told her the sentence should be Vous venez à vingt-deux ce soir. Since it would be the 24 hour clock for 8pm. Would I be correct?

Thanks

Nicole

Is there a way to add accents on the letters? I don't have them on my keyboard...I still enjoyed this practice though!

Hi,

In this lesson, we use Elle est à New York to say She is in New York

But in another lesson, we use J'habite dans le New Jersey to say I live in New Jersey

Now I am a bit confused about the use of dans le and à with cities. Help!

Interested to know why "mal de gorge" wasn’t accepted?

 Incidentally there’s a very rare type of severe throat infection known as "Vincent’s angina" in English. I find from the internet that it’s named after a French epidemiologist with the magnificent name of Jean Hyacinthe Vincent.
