The lesson says you never use dans for months or years. So if a delivery will be made in one month you don’t say la livraison sera effectuée *dans* un mois?
Il va leur téléphoner.He's going to telephone themIl va appeler ses parents. -> Il va les appeler.He's going to call his parents. -> He's going to call them.
In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them?
Merci.
In the one question they use 'en': "Il s'en souvient. = He remembers it." I don't see anything in this lesson explaining when we would use en with this verb?
Is the negation Ne...aucun/aucune always used with countable nouns?? '(Je n'ai aucune idée.') I am getting confused because of this post here -
https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/questions/view/could-you-also-use-aucun
In this post, Chris mentions that....aucun refers to countable objects, then how can we say - Nous n’y voyons aucun mal. [We don’t see any harm in it.]
Here the noun mal is not countable.
Please clarify.
Any reason why we use restait allongées à as opposed to s'allongeait à ?
I wrote : C'est là qu'elle aimait étendre sa couverture sur laquelle elle s'allongeait à rêvasser pendant des heures, but its not in the answers.
Clearly the nice and better is being used for the boyfriends (subject) and not is the verb, then why on earth are we using mieux here? It seems to be an error, feel free to correct me though.
I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?
