la montagne vs. les montagnesFun exercise. I enjoyed it a lot, especially imaging myself walking on the beach, naked toes in the warm sand!
Just one simple question:
I am familiar with the expression, "a la montagne", as in "aller a la montagne". And, j'adore "la montagne".
But I have also heard "les montagnes" in phrases such as "L'ete, je marche dans les montagnes."
I have reviewed the lesson on singular/plural (collective nouns): "les cheveux"; "les toilettes"; "la police" etc. There is no mention of "la/les montagnes".
I would very much appreciate an explanation of when to use the singular, "la montagne" vs. the plural, "les montagnes."
Merci beaucoup !
There is nothing in the question, or in the Quick Lesson, that indicates that the phrase " tôt" is incorrect. There is no context, so BOTH/EITHER answer(s) must be correct. Annoying.
Why is it sometimes before the noun and sometimes after when used as an adjective? And I see some patterns in it's placement as an adverb but if you have any advice on that as well that would be great.
please explain when to use ennuyant and ennuyeux or ennuyeuse
sometimes I'm told it means boring, sometimes annoying, quite confusing, as i cant make out which is which.
