French language Q&A Forum

Looking back through the Quick Lesson and the accompanying discussion I still can’t tell the difference between “none arrived” and “no one arrived”. Aren’t they just two ways of saying the same thing? (Albeit, the second being my preference.)

Hello,

I just started B2 and I had a hard time understanding a lot of this. I'm wondering if I should go back to a B1 level for awhile. Please let me know whether this is normal.

Thank you

The vernacular usage for "vers" with time appears to drop the determinate.  This doesn't appear to be true for the other usages of "vers".

What I had understood that verb attendre is not followed by any preposition….elle attendait de m’entendre…. Why are we using de here ?

I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying.  Agreeing? disagreeing?

My dictionary defines "rayon" as a department within a store, not as an aisle (which it translates as "allée")

Are "en tout cas" and "en tous cas" both acceptable ways of spelling this to mean "in any case". This exercise only accepted the latter, but I thought the former was correct. 

Is ‘its been a long time since ‘ always followed by a verb in the negative? Some language sites seem to have sentences without a negative.
