Don't suppose you could add the type of place in the questions?I would find it a lot easier on the tests if you would indicate if something is a city, state or region for example. Being from Canada the North American references are easy but the European not so much. Example Catalonia - had no idea it was a region until I googled it.

Bonjour, question... Je ne comprends pas pourquoi..... « Ils détestent jouent au foot » est correct.

Je pensais qu'on ne peut pas mettre ensemble deux verbes déjà conjugué. Est-ce que c'est la Gerondif par chance ? Vous avez dit; form of verbs with l'Infinitif - c'est pourqua j'ai le question. (pardon de mes erreurs grammaticeux)

merci,

Solveigh

Identify regional gendersHi The rule - use en if feminine and dans le if masculine - is easy to follow. The question is - other than for UK -shires, how on earth do we know if a region or province is masculine or feminine, or falls into the 'au' (rather than 'en' or 'dans le') camp ? More help (or at least examples) please. Thanks.

Prepositions for States

Bonjour,

For states which preposition do we use? For example to say I live in Michigan would it be:

J'habite à Michigan ou J'habite au Michigan.

de retard vs. du retard

Although this was an exercise about using "devoir", I didn't understand how it expressed "to be late," which was son train a eu du retard Shouldn't it be "de retard" not "du retard?"

Is this rule exclusive for partitive articles? Is it correct to say "Je ne Viens pas de natation" as a negative form of "Je viend de la natation"
