Ok let's clear this up...I am constantly getting the wrong one...what is the rule...please...Javio
please explain when to use ennuyant and ennuyeux or ennuyeuse
sometimes I'm told it means boring, sometimes annoying, quite confusing, as i cant make out which is which.
- i was told that it is always autour DE (by a french conversation teacher), Is this something that is so commonly used incorrectly that it has become acceptable over time? (in one of your examples, and in others from other sites, it is autour DE LA lune, or autour DU monde.)
Is there a reason why we say “je vous le donne” but “je le lui donne”?
I know this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble determining when to use definite articles when talking about things in general. The two examples in the lesson seem to contradict each other:
Je n'aime ni le fromage ni le lait.
Il ne veut ni vin ni eau.
Why is is "le fromage/le lait" in the first example, and simply "vin/eau" in the second one? According to the English translations for each, both sentences seem to refer to the items in general.
Thanks!
I have not seen this one addressed elsewhere, so I will post it and see if there is any advice. In all the exercises so far, "près de" is used. I am in Quebec and have been using "proche de", which seems to be commonly used.
So - the question: is there some subtle differences in the use of "près" or "proche" which I should learn?
