French language Q&A Forum

Hi!

In the notes to this section it says:
Je suis arrivé dix minutes en retard.

But in the video the guy says at 1:06 :
L'avion est arrivé en retard d'une heure.

You even give follow-up examples where the time is at the end of a sentence.
So.....with arriver/venir/commencer/finir (without avec) - it doesn't matter if I put the [time] before or after en retard?

Because if that is the case, then an addition in the "attention section" would be nice:
or
[5 minutes] en retard / [5 minutes] en avance

or

en retard or [5 minutes] en avance / [5 minutes] 


Okay, and now I got myself even more confused....😂

I was surprised by the phrase “ Ce que j’aime le plus avec Albertville “ Is it equally correct to say, “ Ce que j’aime le plus à Albertville “?

This question doesn't direct us to use a specific verb. It only gives us the english "to hate" so why can't we use hair? Sorry can't figure out the accents on my keyboard.

I don't know why but I am just not able to get what the other person is saying in french. Like my listening is not improving at that pace 

I am surprised by the position of 'donc'.  

As an adverb I would have expected it between pas and été. 

As a conjunction I would have expected it after été, or at the beginning of the phrase

In "Tu te souviens de mon ami Alain, que je connais depuis l'école hôtelière", is it okay to use "dont" instead of que?

Thanks!

Like emouvant and paisable and se reconnaitre

example from this lesson - Et leurs anniversaires ? - C'est bientôt !
contradicts with example from another lesson about c'est vs il/elle est - Où est ta tasse? Elle est sur la table. (rule: use il/elle est when giving opinions/short statements about specific things.)
"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French


leur anniversaires - we are specifically talking about their aniversaries. so shouldn't we use il/elle est ? or maybe ils/elles sont ?
