Habiter and vivreRe: Habiter vs Vivre
If I understand correctly, using a preposition after habiter or vivre is optional unless it’s followed by a country or continent. Then it would be “en” for feminine countries and masculine countries beginning with a vowel and for the six feminine continents.
“Au” for masculine countries starting with a consonant and “aux” for plural countries.
When using habiter or vivre with cities it would be à or nothing at all. When using habiter or vivre with regions, provinces, states and counties, again the preposition is optional. My question is when you do not use a preposition, do you use the definite article?
eg., With preposition it’s “J’habite dans le Merseyside.”
Without preposition is it “J’habite Merseyside.” Or J’habite le Merseyside.”
Thank you!
Why is "les filles dont je pense sont géniales" - wrong?
parler de?
Sometimes dont is used and in this case à qui/auxquelles
Dragana
Is avoir à a possible alternative to devoir?
Can avoir à ever be used instead of devoir? For example j'ai à vous remercier instead of je dois vous remercier.Re: Habiter vs Vivre
