I thought only the first letter of titles was capitalized in French. For example, in a catalogue, the title of the book "Gabrielle Roy: La détresse et l'enchantement" is written with only the proper name and the first word of the subtitle in capitals.
If I say "I have been living in Paris for 4 years" is it correct to say either:
#1 J'habite à Paris depuis quatre ans or #2 J'ai été habiter à Paris quatre ans.
Regarding the translation of 'the weather was beautiful the whole time!'
the answer is given as:
il a fait beau tout le temps !
BUT an alternative answer is also given:
"il a fait un temps magnifique tout le temps !"
This seems to conflict with the lesson ‘Talking about the weather with il fait + [adjective]’ which states that: -
"Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns."
Could you please clarify as un temps is a noun.
Thank you
