heartache"ATTENTION: The expression "avoir mal au cœur" does NOT mean you're having a heartache or a heart attack, but that you're feeling sick, like you want to throw up." how do you say "my heart hurts" then?

I think the answer is wrong...Should the translaten of "Don't go to bed yet" not be "Ne vous couchez pas encore" instead of only "Ne vous couchez pas" ? Methinks the "yet" isn't captured by the second translation. -- Chris.

Yet the answer to the question I have posted below uses soyez and not avoir2Je vais vous ramener chez vous avant select ...que vous n'êtesque vous ne soyezvous êtesvous soyezselect ... trop fatigués. (I'm going to bring you home before you're too tired.)

I think that "I Ate" is past tense of the verb to eat.

Hi, can you explain why "I ate all the cakes" is not a correct translation of

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau!"Merci

au is there a reason texas and new mexico use "au" instead of dans le other than the fact that it is an exception? and if so, are there other ones that use "au"?

Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could explain to me please when one should use 'Y' vs using 'En'.
For example, in trying to say "She thinks of it" - could it not be "elle y pense" or "elle en pense"?
Is it just determined by the context? Ie if the sentence before used De use En or if it used A use Y?

Any help greatly appreciated.
