correct answers in weekend challenge:
qui devrait nous livrer les fleurs dans l'apres-midi
tu prendras ta voiture le matin
these seem to me to be the same sentence structure. Why is dans not used consistently? what about in the evening or night?
anyone able to help me understand?
thank you
In listening to:
Il s'en est allé.
Il s'est en allé
the T in est allé is spoken "eh-tallé'
but in s'est en allé it wasn't said.
Pourquoi?
Merci.
In the writing challenge "The benefits of music" these sentences appear:
"Que ce soit le jazz, le rock ou la variété, il est indéniable que la musique fait partie intégrante de nos vies. Mais que nous apporte-t-elle qui nous soit si indispensable ? C'est bien connu : la musique adoucit les mœurs."
Why is "il est" applicable in the first bold phrase but "c'est" in the second? It appears to me that both are making general statements (about la musique) and both follow est by an adjectival phrase - not a noun, so I would think that case 2a applies in the A1 lessonn "C'est vs il/elle est: Saying it is".
Perhaps that rule is inappropriate here since "la musique" is not a "pre-mentioned thing" but what are the rules being followed here?
