I was wondering would these two sentences I made up be correct? I'm trying to understand the difference between the 12hr and 24hr.
Je me couche à vingt-deux heures
I go to bed at 10pm
Je me révielle à neuf heures
I wake up at 9am
Thanks
Nicole
Est-ce qu'on utilise "À partir du premier jour des vacances..." au lieu de "Dès le premier jour des vacances..." dans ce contexte ? Si non, pourquoi ?
Can you share link to the lessons to explain the aies and eue. am in a bit of a muddle. not sure where to look.
Sorry to rehash this, but I find "follows the opposite pattern" confusing, as it really only applies to the use of avoir + demeuré, which is an intransitive use. Surely être demeuré remains (!) intransitive too, as it’s a state-of-being verb with no object?
when to use an article with a country
The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question: "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"
It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).

Second sentence, 'dormi' sounds like 'dorni' - that is, no 'm' sound. Third sentence, 'et il a' sounds like 'et la' - that is, no 'il' sound.
is translated above as:
I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes
I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.
