Hi, I am confused as to when to pronounce the t in vingt, for example, in vingt-deux, vingt-cinq? In some videos and sites I hear them pronounce it, in some I don't. So when do we exactly? Or are both acceptable?
Can “Ça marche géneralement plutôt bien” ( quite well) be rendered as assez bien? I e would assez bien and plutôt bien be interchangable in above sentence?
In English, the word 'between' is used when there is a choice between two items. If the choice is more than two, the word 'among' is used. Is this different in French? Or in this case, does 'entre' have the same meaning as 'among'. Merci!
quelques (plural)
Used with countable things it means a couple of, some, a few.
Il a quelques livres à lire.He has a few books to read.and peu de means little, not much of, few
Nous avons peu d'argent.We have little money.We don't have much money.Elle a peu d'amis.
Your lesson says negative sentences using depuis use passé composé yet when I do that your corrections use the present
Nous avons visité une exposition qu'un ami a recommandée.
If 'que' referred to 'un musée', then the past participle would lack the final 'e'?
The example above "Quel est le meilleur aspirateur?" implies that l'aspirateur est bon, correct? Why would this not be "bien", like the case of "Ma télé est bien" above? It's not food.
In paragraph 3 why does "j'avais" denote an obligation (to have to) instead of it being "je devais"?
Peut-on utilise "Dès lors" dans la phrase "D'ici là, je devrais être prêt pour une longue sieste"
et pour j'ai décidé de prendre la situation en main
on peut écrire "j'ai décidé de maîtriser la situation ?
Merci
