Greetings, What would it look like to turn these phrases into questions in order to ask how deep, tall, wide, or long something is?
Why is "pommes de terre" not a correct plural of "pomme de terre", or perhaps the correct plural? I've never before seen "pommes de terres".
Hello - in the exercise it says:.....on a bu notre café sur la terrasse.
Further down in the Q&A, White asked about the difference between 'sur la terrasse' and 'en terrasse'.
Céline's answer seems to suggest that the exercise above is incorrect.
Have I understood correctly i.e. saying 'sur la terrasse' implies that something is actually physically on the terrace and so in effect, the extract should read: .... on a bu notre café en terrasse. ( One would assume that they were sitting on chairs on the terrace and not directly on the surface of the terrace as would be the case of a pot plant etc as per Céline's examples.)
If my understanding is correct, should the exercise not be corrected to say 'en terrasse' instead of 'sur la terrasse' ?
There is nothing in the question, or in the Quick Lesson, that indicates that the phrase " tôt" is incorrect. There is no context, so BOTH/EITHER answer(s) must be correct. Annoying.
