Demonstrative pronouns, L’Imparfait et PrépositionsBonjour Madame Cécile !
Apologies for posting another query, but of late, I have been testing on a few grammatical concepts at Kwiziq—
1. Ces fleurs sont jolies mais ______ sont les plus chères. (ce/ celles/celles-là)
Here, I opted for “ce” because of the expression “ce sont” however “celles-là” is correct. Why, Madame ?
2. Quand elles travaillaient pour IBM, elles (se marier déjà).
I had conjugated in the “L’Imparfait” as ‘se mariaient déjà’ in the sense of “were married”.
But, the answer was in Le Plus-que-Parfait. Why has Past perfect been used ?
3. Le bateau est _______ lac. (au milieu du/au bord du) Can’t “au bord de” be used with a lake or is it specifically for “au bord de la mer.”
Merci Madame Cécile !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
Why can’t you use “de bonne heure” for “early” instead of “en avance”?
What is the infinitive of envie in this context: avoid envie de
is envie a verb?
Chers amis,
I am not native English-speaking person, but while I was reading this lesson, I made the relations of different types of “leave” in French with my native language which is Greek. In Greek we have different words, as in French, for expressing “leave”, probably there is the same in English with specialized word of meaning “leave”. Some words in English that are synonyms to leave could be for example, depart, go, abscond, exit, vamoose, go away, run off etc. So, maybe, for a native English person could be better explaining the different notions of French “leave” with the right word in English. Is that right? What do you think?
In the last sentence, "he has become" is translated "c'est devenu." Why not "il est devenu"?

Bonjour à tous,
Could you tell me how to say this in French ? Thanks
I am trying to figure out the English translate for 'donc je vais me régaler'
Does it mean:
1) so I am going to enjoy.
2) so I am going to feast.
