Joan C.A1KwizIQ Q&A regular contributor

"Nous changions de voiture tous les ans". Why can't we say "Nous changions une/notre voiture tous les ans"?

When do we use "changer de" and when do we use "changer"? What is their difference?

Thank you

Vous_____ me le direIn the test for the above, the translation reads as 'You shouldn't have told me'. Shouldn't the translation have been ' You shouldn't have told me that'? I am trying to see where the 'le' fits in the translation given.

Beaucoup de - many

'Beaucoup de marques' gets the strike through for "many brands" - Larousse notes 'beaucoup de' as a synonym with 'de nombreux', and meaning 'many' (or a lot) in front of countable nouns.

Best Dictionary for Eng to Fr Translations

What's a better dictionary for English to French translations? I've been using Google Translate, but there are many words, like "a ride"....translated to "un tour" and not "une manège" OR "queue line" translated to "la file d'attente." Concerned I'll be using some archaic or a rarely used definition.
