Is there a lesson or could you please explain the difference between enfin, à la fin, au final, finalement, etc? Thanks.
In the quick lesson you use the example Ce problème, auquel je ne comprends rien, m'énerve
Why is it auquel and not duquel ( or de qui) since comprendre is a transitive verb ? What am I missing?
Why do you need to put "l" before on" in this question?
Why can't the sentence read "Il est important q'on agisse de façon?"
Hi,can anyone please shine some light on the following: " mais n'en espérait pas moins trouver queque Poisson. I think I know that it means " nevertheless hoped to find some fish" but is this a standard expression ?. Myself I would have said au moins (il) espérait trouver queque Poisson. I don't understand the rôle of the n and moins: it seems backwards to me, and in a way " not hoped to at least find some fish.
I can’t quite understand why the subordinate clause here is in the present when the main sentence is past. Nous avons passé une bonne journée ________d'avis. I wrote “sans que je n’aie changé” but the correct answer was in the present “sans que je ne change”…
(We had a nice day without my changing my mind).
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?
The lesson said that y replaces [à+ thing], and that an indirect pronoun replaces [à + person].
The question was "Il pense à sa famille. Elle....pense aussi." 'Famille' is people, so why is the answer given as 'y' and not 'leur'?
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?"
