Just wondering.. qu'il fait beau?.. sounds much better to my (English) ears
My dictionary offers both as a translation of teaspoon. Only the latter was accepted in this exercise. Is there a distinction? In English, a teaspoon is a smaller spoon, i.e. smaller than a tablespoon, used to eat with or to stir something. A teaspoon is also a unit of measurement. We use the same word for both. What about French ? Is there a difference between petite cuillère and cuillère à café ?
There's a lesson saying that we use le/la/les with general things. However, in a writing practise, the sentence "when it's hot, I prefer to eat mixed salads" is translated as "quand il fait chaud, je prefere manger des salades composees", why do we use "des" (meaning some) here instead of "les" (meaning salads in general)?
Hi there, I was wondering if you could clarify when one should use "à" versus "en" to mean "to" or "at".
Par exemple dans cette phrase: j'enverrais régulièrement en prison. Why wouldn't it be j'enverrais... à prison?
Thanks!
