Why is it une salade de fruits and not une salade des fruits ?
I received a quiz question: "The French Revolution lasted from 1789 to 1799." It directed me to this lesson but I'm not seeing where this lesson tells you about what to use between two years?
Alexandre is a proper noun, so shortening it to "qu'Alexandre" is optional and not necessary. Yet I got marked wrong for writing "n'a embrassé que Alexandre"
La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.
Why "en" is the response?
What is the difference between vite and rapidement?
- Can I use "chez la teinturerie" instead of "au pressing"?
- Can I use "ce n'est pas grand-chose" instead of "ce n'est pas grave"?
- Can I use "de nouveau" instead of "encore"? Please walk me through this.
- Can I use "de secours" instead of "en réserve or de côté"?
Why is the correct answer ‘preservation’ not ‘conservation ‘?
Shouldn't it be deux plus deux égalE quatre?
Why is it not "Non, ici rien n'est PAS cher"?
I saw in a previous post that you refer us to Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations), but this says that you don't need "pas" in situations where you use a different word in place of "pas"... so you could use "n'est rien" instead of "n'est pas". But in the text above, "rien" is already in the sentence, so we shouldn't repeat it, right? So, where is the "PAS"? Or can any adjective simply replace the "pas"?
Please clarify... et merci beaucoup!
