How do you say the following in French? 

a) I spent a day with Martin. 

b) I spent the day with Martin.

My guess is:

a) J’ai passé un jour avec Martin. (following the example of "spent a year" indirectly)

b) J’ai passé la journée avec Martin. (following the quiz answer directly)

Am I correct? If so, why are the two different? Can I just remember "a" vs. "the" means one is a unit of time and one is emphasizing the duration? Thank you. 

Hi

There was a test in which i use peu d'argent but the answer was shown to be un peu de

I cant understand why?

In the lesson it is said peu d'argent

Could you kindly clarify this for me?

Thanks

1. What is the purpose of the word "tous" in this sentence? 

2.  Why is the "s" in "tous" pronounced before the " v" in "vos"?

As mentioned earlier, "chaque an" cannot be used to mean "chaque année". So I am wondering if "toutes les années" can be used instead of "tous les ans" ?
