I've been told that you should use "dans" when there is a roof, and "sur" when there isn't. So "on the bus/plane" is "dans l'autobus/avion" and "in the fields" is "sur les champs". Is this a good general rule?

Bonjour, Ma saison préférée est l'hiver. Je viens d'Inde où il fait toujours chaud. L'hiver canadien est très beau avec son fond blanc. Je ne dérange pas le froid et je l'appricie même. Et la neige , c'est le meilleur moment. Je viens d'apprendre à patiner et j'ai passé mon hiver dernier dans la patinoire. 

Merci beaucoup pour cet exercise. Bonne journée et bonne soirée ( où que vous soyez!).

In english, if someone is upset, or if something's going on, i might ask "what is it?". I'm not exaclty asking the meaning of something but im wondering about a situation if that makes sense.

So would the french translation in that scenario be "c'est quoi/qu'est-ce que c'est"? Or does that only refer to a noun. 

I hope I'm making sense.

Isn't saying 'Comment vous vous appelez' the same as saying 'what is you your name' 

Or is there something I didn't get? 

Salut, can any one make a sentence when “ on” means ONE? Merciiii beacoup 

It kept cutting at various parts for me. I had to replace portions of the audio over and over again in order to hear the entire portion. For example, for the first sentence I would almost never hear "Au Luxembourg" so I was confused by the hint. Sometimes I only heard the very last word out of the entire sentence

Is there a difference between using 'nous' and 'on' when using the aller verb?

"Nous avons mangé en une heure" does not have a correct answer.  "We ate in an hour" and "We ate in an hour´s time" are both incorrect.  An appropriate answer would be "We ate for an hour."  (American English)
