BUT in the lesson it states:-
In the following cases, you cannot use sur (on) in French, but you will instead use dans (in). Street Ils marchent dans la rue.
In the case of the street, we see the whole environment as 'the street' and you're situated in it.
It seems that avenue is treated differently to street, is there a reason for this?
When she is assembling the plane she says 'venir' in every step. It doesn't seem to change the meaning of the sentence so is it just a language tic? If not, what does it do?
Ex. Nous allons venir assembler notre avion
On va venir prendre le deuxième baton jaune
On viendra l'appliquer à l'arrière
The bot marked "lave-linge" as incorrect, but according to the Larousse dictionary or good old Google exists as well.
I know this exercise is about numbers, but i do not understand the following examples:
Why does 'lui' translate as 'her' in both these examples? I thought 'lui' when used like this refers to him, and that 'elle' would be her?
Thanks
The pronunciation is taken for granted in this lesson. It should be included.
Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.
However, I was marked incorrect.
Is it okay to not add anything after "sans" in this sentence: "je ne sais pas ce qu'on aurait fait sans"? I translated it as "sans elle" (elle = la piscine).
In the final sentence, I used "refroidir" instead of "rafraîchir." Is there a difference between the two?
Also for the final sentence, just wondering why "les prochains jours" isn't accepted?
And this one answer was Le même ???
I am having great difficulty with this despite various peoples attempt to explain. Could someone give a few more examples in English, just breaking the sentence down and showing how you understand which is the subject and which is the object. Thank you!
Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?
"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."
I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?
