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?
- 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.)
Why is it «mal au coeur» instead of «je me sens nauséeuse»? Doesn't «mal au coeur» mean heartache?
why magnifique come
after noun in « endroits magnifiques »
but before noun in « magnifiques gâteaux »
