Hello there, may I ask when/is there a rule for the use ‘in’ dans/en? Thank you
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’ ?
This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?
There was an earlier quiz where "something fitted someone" and the answer was APADTE Á. I also remember that VA Á was not one of the options. When is 'adapte á" appropriate?
I was wondering why the use of indefinite articles with descriptive nouns was no longer in use. For example, I learned to say "Je suis une chanteuse." But, a textbook I am using in my class simply says "Je suis chanteuse." First, why is the un or une no longer included and second, is it grammatically correct to say something like "Je suis fille." or "Il est homme."? Much appreciated for any help. Rules have changed since I was a student.
Line 9: The audio says "effeuillez d'abord les fleurs,"
.......but d'abord is crossed out as incorrect by kwiziq in my written response.
This isn't really about the lesson per se, but two English-language books about DeGaulle: Julian Jackson "De Gaulle" & Jonathan Fenby "The General, Charles DeGaulle & the France He Saved" are fascinating character studies & well worth the read.
The man that Churchill once described to FDR as "our mutual headache", c'était vraiment un homme compliqué.
