Why do you use “à la” with New-Orleans (On va à la Nouvelle-Orléans la semaine prochaine) if there is no article in the name of Nouvelle-Orléans? Is it because it’s a feminine noun? Do I have to use “à la” and “de la” with all feminine nouns OR only with the ones that start with the feminine articles?
Is it possible to translate this as:
Après que CharlesVIII lui-même lui en fit son épouse.
As the sentence was that he made her his wife ?
In the C1 writing exercise The King Cake, there is the phrase ‘ he or she will name out loud each person, who will then be given a piece of galette’.
The recommended translation of ‘who will then be given’ is ‘à qui on donnera ensuite’.
You could also say ‘à laquelle on donnera’ ?
Why is fut used in the above, rather than était.To the best of my knowledge, we have not been introduced to the Historic?
I know it is only correct to say Je vain manger à huit heures. However, in response to À quelle heure ?, I've seen the phrase At nine o'clock written as both À neuf heures and A neuf heures. Are both A and À correct to use in this instance?
Thanks so much for letting us know about the Aubracs. Most Americans no nothing about them. Their courage and skill in working for the Resistance is inspiring. On our Veterans Day, it is yet another story of the people who sacrificed much to overcome tyranny. It is much appreciated!
Hello-
For this question: Nadia ________ un bébé. The two choices are attend or s'attende. I went with attend, since the lessons says that attendre (non-pronomial) is always used for expecting a baby, but I was marked wrong.
"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi" Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?
