I don’t get the nuance of ‘J’arrive dans 10 minutes’. 'I arrive in 10 minutes' is the same, to me, as saying ‘I will arrive in 10 minutes.
The final segment of this exercise to translate is, "my choice was long made!" . I don't understand this phrase, does it mean "my choice was long ago made" or "my choice was made long ago?"
this is frustrating. where does it say "jour" as in day? how are we supposed to know its St Julien Day and not a destination called St Julien?
“You sang onstage?” Is rendered by you as “Vous avez chanté au scène.” I think it could also be “Vous chantiez…” if the person being addressed had bern a professional singer. No?
Usage of à vs de.
The lecture above says this:
Note that you use à when describing going to or being in a city.And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
I'm confused. I thought we use à to say we are in a city. Why is it also used in "de"?
Most of the lessons on this site help with grammatical understanding, however this is the first lesson I’m struggling to understand. I’ve found some comments useful after being overly frustrated with getting the quizzes wrong, but I feel this article needs an update for further clarity.
My quiz is saying this means these girls, surely this means the girls
When would you use the "aller faire..." format such as in "Avec mes copines, on va faire du shopping ce weekend", versus just "faire du shopping"?
Is there a complete list of words like: des bals([dancing] balls),
des carnavals,
des festivals,
des récitals,..?
I can't find it on your site.
Thanks in advance, Jaap.
