Couldn't I say, "Je n'ai fait que mes devoirs"? Why is "Je n'ai que fait mes devoirs" better. The 1st one feels more natural.

This is more of a comment than a question: I found it a bit frustrating that the quiz is about something other than what was just taught above. The lesson is about when to use QUI and not QUE, but the quiz requires me to also know when to use QUI and when to use CE QUI, which is taught elsewhere.

Phrases without a definite or indefinite article

Hello all,

I've seen several French expressions/phrases where there is no definite or indefinite article, where there would be one in English.

For example. C'est bon signe meaning that's A good sign, j'ai rencard avec lui meaning I have AN appointment with him.

Is there a general rule that explains this ?

Thanks,

Jean

Avoir beau / pourvu que / en attendant etc. Est-ce que c'est nécessaire qu'on apprenne les phrases tel que avoir beau, pourvu que, quoique, en attendant que et à condition que... Vraiment, ça n'est pas une bonne question Je sais qu'on doit apprendre toute la langue. Mais, je n'en ai jamais vu dans les examens que vous avez présenté. Hier soir, notre prof (une française) nous a introduit tel que phrases. C'est important qu'on apprenne celles qui sont listé ci-dessus? Peut-être et en toute possibilité je n'ai pas écrit ma question correctement. Mais je l'ai essayé. J'aime bien votre site. Don

Why is it le hautbois instead of l'hautbois?

Is this an exception to the "h" rule that "le hautbois / du hautbois" is not "l'hautbois / de l'hautbois"?

côté = side/hand/quarterIs 'du côté droit' an expression meaning right half of … or, is it more precise to translate as 'on the right side' ? Thanks
