In comparing these three sentences, I notice that the verbs have similar translations (is/are getting or becoming):
Ses relations avec elle vont de mal en pis
Ma mémoire est de pire en pire
Les ordinateurs deviennent de mieux en mieux
Can these three verbs be used interchangeably with these expressions to mean is getting/going/becoming worse or better? Or is there a distinction to be made?
Thanks for your help!
I'm curious to know why it's not "J'ai besoin DU temps pour réfléchir" in this sentence? What happens to the definite article "le" for temps?
Could you explain, in combination, when to use y and when to use en?
It is a regular activity bit Je faire de la natation seems wrong in this context.
Is this 2nd person plural? And if it is why is it for a singular person?
I know certain kinds of weather are expressed with a direct verb, like:
* il pleut
* il neige
* il tonne
But there seems to be multiple ways of describing other kinds of weather, like "it's sunny." I've heard:
* il y a du soleil (which is the example in this lesson)
but also:
* c'est ensoleillé
I've heard both:
* il y a des nuages
as well as:
* c’est nuageux
Are all these versions correct? Is one preferred or in more common use than the other?Thanks!
