My dictionary gave me two choices: de plus and en plus. Qui plus est was not even a choice. I always seem to make the wrong choice. Can someone explain the nuances of the translation of besides?
Hello - I do not understand why Cette année is used, and not Cet an. We are not referring to a whole period, rather to a specific event at the end of a year.
I thought that "Je vais appeller mon agent de voyage demain" would convey a more immediate sense of will call v/s "J'appellerai ...". Or is it the "demain" that makes it more correct to use the Futur mode?
Hi, I feel that the “p” sound is completely missing from “pour” in “pour l'infaillible soutien que vous nous avez montré ces dix derniers mois.”.
Is it missing? If so, is this an audio file error, or a genuine French way of speaking at the C1 level?
Why wasn't on se voit used for "see you this week-end ?"
... car le bureau de poste local n'offrait plus ce service.
In this section of the sentence the 'S' at the end of 'pluS' is pronounced. This seems at odds with the lesson 'Ne ... plus = no more/no longer' which states: -
Note that when plus has a negative meaning (no more), you don't pronounce the final 's', except when you do the liaison with a vowel following ('z' sound).
... in the exercise plus is followed by 'ce' and 'ce' does not start with a vowel and as such should not be pronounced?
Can one also say ' je m'en servirai d'une'?
It wasn't offered as an option.
Thanks
I am confused about when I can use duquel ,delaquelle etc instead of dont
Should “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais” be “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvaises” so that “mauvaises” agrees with “chaussettes”?
