Would you say les hôtels since hôtels starts with a 'h'? Or is there some form of abbreviation like l' but for the plural term? 

I love how she can roll the r three or more times on the word "cruel"!  J'aime comment elle peut rouler le r trois ou plus temps avec the mot "cruel".  (Did I get this correct?)  ;)

In the translation of "I go to my local bakery...", could one use "du coin" for the translation of 'local’ ?  It was not accepted. 

From this page and the link to the sister site below, it doesn't feel like there is a pattern to look for.

Reposting the link here so people don't have to scroll to comments made 2 years ago asking the same question...

Can you please update this article or clarify how to actually tell when to use what? 

C'est dommage de ne pas avoir de questions de compréhension pour la lecture et l'écoute... 

Hi, I saw a dialogue in tv series Better Call Saul. It was "I am not telling you anything until we talk about my dad " and French translation is "Je ne te dirai rien tant qu'on n'aura pas parlé de mon père.. What I want to ask is why "parlé" is used instead of "parler", why passé composé form is used in this sentence after future tense of avoir.

Thank you.

I found the first clue, something about asking two people, not so helpful.  It lead me away from first choice, i.e. singular verb, to a plural.

On regardait les lucioles, et soudain elles ont toutes disparu.

Why is it soudain and not soudainement?

Why just "debut juillet" instead "au debut de juillet"?  Apparently I can't submit this question without more detail.  I don't know how much detail I can give.  It's a simple question
