Prison seems like a pretty specific place... so why 'en' instead of 'dans la'?
A quiz question has this answer:
"Qu'est-ce qui a changé entre nous ?"
Why there's no liaison after "qui", like "... qu'a changé..."?
Shouldn't this be changed to the below to avoid any confusion?
Avoir [nombre] ans = To have [number] years
In the video there is no definite article in front of Israel. Why? Are there other countries that do not have a definite article beforehand?
Why is it not "je ne changerais *pas* ma vie pour rien au monde"? Is "pour rien" a varient of the "ne... rien" negation?
The lesson says:
When using "faire de la danse" or "faire de la natation" (FOR EXAMPLE) rather than simply "danser" or "nager", you refer more to an organised, repeated activity - I take dance lessons / I go swimming [as a regular activity, e.g. attending class or lessons] - than just a 'one-off' activity you're in the middle of doing such as I'm dancing / I'm swimming.
How would one then say: "I am dancing / I dance" without implying one is taking dance lessons? Same for swimming.
Thanks.
