What does this sentence mean, "Elle a posé toutes ses lettres au tour d'après"?
Could "bivouaquer" be used to say set up camp?
I would have thought (and did!) that it should be "ces héros ont souffert de la discrimination" rather than "ces héros ont souffert de discrimination"; in the same way that "ces héros ont subi de la discrimination" was noted as a correct answer.
Is there something specific to "souffrir de" that causes the article to be dropped?
Why is it "des" here, when there is (presumably) only one Martine?
In today's quiz all the content was in English! I am already an Anglophone...
Was that a glitch, was there an English/French toggle I didn't see or what?
Do you use c'est if a partitive article follows as well?
Please could you explain why prochain is placed in front of 'concert', when it is normally placed after nouns?
Dans la deuxième phrase, nous devons traduire le mot, infuriating. Vous avez choisi "exaspérant" et je crois que vous avez aussi donné la possibilité "énervant". J'ai choisi "rageant" qui n'était pas acceptable. C'est un mauvais choix ? Pour moi, je pense que rager implique plus d'émotion que exaspérer ce qui est exactement le cas entre infuriate et exasperate en l'anglais. Vous n'est pas d'accord ?
Does the placement of 'Du tout' affect the overall meaning of the sentence? Could it be placed in different places to give the sentence different meanings? Are there any rules of where (before or after what) we are allowed to place 'du tout' ? How does the placement of 'du tout' change when there are prepositions within the sentence ?
I look in the examples, and see 'du tout' placed after adjectives and nouns, does that negate other parts of the sentence?
