Why didn't we use comme bébé here, in keeping with the English text, where it said as a baby?
"Il a plu de lundi à vendredi.
It rained from Monday to Friday."
Why is this sentence not l'imparfait, because Monday to friday is for a period of time ? Meaning it rained continually for some time
Hello, i need help with the when and how to use 'l'imparfait' and 'le passé composé'
Here, de l' is being used as a partitive article? Or de comes with thèmes?
If the second case is true, can we omit the second de here: qui explore les thèmes de l'avarice et (de) l'hypocrisie
Thank you
tell me the meaning of basic preopositions such as a de au aux du
How do you know when to use tu and when to use vous?
Why "des murs d'escalade" instead of "de murs d'escalade"? Note "beaucoup d'obstacles."
I saw this sentence "Ils ont envie que nous leur donnions notre avis" - does envie here mean 'to want'?
I’m confused. The lesson states:
“To express lacking [something], you use:
manquer de or d' + [thing]As you're literally saying I lack of [something], you never use partitive articles (du, de l', de la, des) here; i.e., Je manque du sucre.”
So why not “Je manque de sucre?” The answer directly contradicts the Green highlighted guidance.
There seems to be a little glitch with the answers: For "À chaque fois..." and "À la place..." the corrections mark À as wrong, and say that one should have used "A" with no accent in both cases (though it does go on to say that you 'could' have used "À").
Surely that's not right? Surely this will always be À ? Or am I missing something fundamental that I've never noticed before? I note that in the full text afterwards, "À chaque fois" and "À la place..." are used as I would have expected....
