Is there a lesson to understand when to use le/la or ça for example. If I was eating something I like would I say Je l'aime or J'aime ça?
I just asked my French son in law if he or his friends or family ever call it "Saint Sylvestre", and he says,
"non on ne dit jamais ca, on dit juste le nouvel an."Is it really very common to say Saint Sylvestre? Could that be regional, eg in Paris as opposed to southern part of the country where he's from?
I have a gap in knowledge here, as "visiteuse" is a form I hadn’t encountered before. Is it always used for female visitors?
I used "faire du camping", which is good French and comes straight from le grand Robert. Why was this rejected?
on every site I've looked at, it says its 'dire à' and not 'dire de' to 'tell sb to do st' ? is this an error ?
This article says that the translation for "Il viendra de peur que tu ne sois vexée." is "He comes...", but wouldn't "viendra" translate to "will come"? And then "Il va venir" would be the one that is translated to "He's coming..."
D’aussi loin qu’elle se souvienne: I get confused about the translation of ‘could’ in this context and had translated this as : ‘D’aussi loin qu’elle pouvait se souvenir’. Can you direct me to an explanation of when ‘could’ is not a tense of pouvoir but a subjunctive?
What is correct " tu achetes les chaussures" or " tu achetes des chaussures"
