Bonjour !
I have been told by French people that I cannot apply this rule to the verb commencer à.
For example:
Je commence à faire mes devoirs. J'y commence.
I am starting to do my homework. I'm starting it.
Is it an exception ? Or is it just socially not regularly used ?
Merci !
Can one order by using, "Je prends un(e) _____, s'il vous plaît." ? Is it polite enough?
In this exercise “I should maybe call the train company” is translated as “je devrai ... “, but “I should really insure my phone” is “je devrais ...” . It’s only a very small detail (and I believe both are pronounced the same, or almost the same, by most people anyway), but why is the future of devoir used in one case and the conditional in the other?
Bonjour!
I have recently seen this sentence in Entre Nous A1 book:
"Je suis guide touristique depuis deux ans...je travaille dans tout le pays !"
The speaker is clearly speaking about "all the countries" here, which is plural. So why not "tous les pays"?
I haven't come across this before. Could someone explain it's meaning?
