French language Q&A Forum

Why is it l'eau du robinet rather than de robinet? On the other hand it is usually de like in résolutions de fin d'année.

 I write a daily journal in French and was just trying to write that I miss doing something. I cannot decide whether that has to be manquer à or manquer de. I have been lacking the time to do it, which makes me think manquer de. But I have been missing doing the activity in an emotional sense. I really wish that I could do it just as I really wish that it weren't winter or that I could go back to a certain place.

Can someone help me out and tell me which one to use? Manquer à and de is  one of those things I haven't fully mastered when I was A2, I'm afraid. 

Can one use the construction attendre jusqu'à ce que..?

for example if i wanted to say i'm waiting until i am ready, could i say

j'attends jusqu'à ce que je sois prêt 

or would I just say

j'attends que je sois prêt.

Merci.

I am wondering why in a lesson of monter dans and descendre de that a quiz question is using débarque?  Thanks.  (Rose débarque du bateau" means:)
