One minor detail to improve here: I got confused by "dans le petit bassin" being translated as "to the small pool", which means "au petit bassin", instead the correct English translation is "into the small pool".

Cheers!

Prépositions

One of the things that continues to confuse me is when to use à , sur, dans when working with dates ( dans l’après midi - ) , sur La Canebière. Etc because sometimes they use au, à la and they are correcting me . Is there a lesson I can review to clarify this?

The order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun

I have a question in these two sentences: 1. Tu ne me le donnes pas. 2. Tu ne la lui écris pas. What is the correct order of indirect pronoun and object pronoun? In the first sentence, it seems that the order is indirect(me) + object(le), but in the second one, it becomes object(la) + indirect(lui). Is there anything wrong here? Or both are correct, that this order doesn’t matter?

Getting the English right........

In the lesson you state:

Ni l'un(e) ni l'autre ne... means neither one nor the other or neither (of them).

English is my native language and I would never say "neither one nor the other". I would say "Neither the one nor the other" or better, as offered "Neither." "Neither one nor the other" just doesn't sound right. "Neither one" seems sufficient (and a third alternative) making the addition of "nor the other" seem superfluous and inappropriate. I wonder if this isn't a dialectical difference within North America.

Hello Kwiziq Community,

Would you know the nuances between using devra and devrait in this sentence ? Thank you.
