1- I am unsure of when to use "personnes" and when to use "gens." I had, "Disons une trentaine de gens."
2- Why is it "Ma mère adore le fruit de la passion et l'ananas" with the definite article but "...mais les enfants préféreraient du chocolat" ?
I thought this was a general opinion and therefore chose the definite article "le" for "chocolat," as well.
The lesson re the above clearly states that “If it/ he/ she is followed by a determinant you will use c’est.” Why then, after taking Lucie’s temperature does the doctor say, “ Elle est un peu élevée” and when taking her blood pressure, “Elle est un peu basse”? I can understand why he would say “Elle est élevée” or “Elle est basse” but surely the given answer contradicts the rule.
Also, why cannot 'le temps' be used to say "now it's time to..." ? The correct answer was l'heure.
It is really hard to hear exactly these words, spelling...=((
Quand le soleil retourne....
Can we substitute 'revient' with 'retourne'?
(if no 'why')
Merci
To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."
Would it be, then, "je mange plein de chocolat" or "plein de chocolats"? "Plein de pomme de terre" or "plein de pommes de terre"? Thanks in advance.
