Articulation is very poor in places, especially "et il n'y aura pas de jalouses " and "Papa, quand on aura fini la visite". I realize you're trying to provide a range of voices and accents, but it makes it really difficult to understand sometimes. A native French speaking friend listened to this and she really struggled to understand it.
Why is, ”ou s'il s'arrête brusquement” in third person singular instead of third person plural?
Merci
In the first sentence. Can you use 'autant que possible' in this instance?
Asked to translate “I will pick you up at 5pm Saturday “, I wrote “ Je te chercherai à 17 heures samedi”. Apparently this is incorrect, the correct response being, “ Je passerai te chercher à 17 heures samedi”. What was wrong with my answer?
I don't understand this
French: "Vous parlez d'autres langues"
English "Are you speaking about other languages?"
if "de" comes from "parlez", the lesson says it needs to be contracted to "des"
but here, it's just "d'"
can we say 'de lundi à vendredi'? because it is only one week stay. I think there is no repeat
This is about translating "no one had salted the road". Here you mean the "roadway", also called "the pavement" in British English, which I translated as "la chaussée" instead of what was given, "la route".
Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
I suspect the prepositions in this lesson don’t mean the same in US and British English.
As a Brit, I wouldn’t say either stop by or pop by somewhere. Pass by and go past mean the same as each other and don’t imply you stopped or went inside: for that, I’d use "go", "pop" or "drop" "into" or "in to" or another construction like "I went to see Laurent at his house".
So I’m not clear if "Elle est passée chez Laurent" means she went in to see him or went past his house without stopping?
(Setting aside the usage of "place", as in "Laurent’s place")
