The rule with c'est vs il/elle is that you are speaking of a specific item. In this lesson one of the examples doesn't appear to follow that rule:
The lesson translates "Is it a second-hand car?- No, it's new." to "C'est une voiture d'occasion? - Non, elle est neuve."
Why doesn't the question use Elle instead of C'est? They are talking about a specific car--i.e. the one purchased by the speaker.
Please can you explain the ending of the word "partir" for me in this instance? I put "is" and it was incorrect,
many thanks, Marie
Why is "it" in this sentence "la" instead of "le:" Tu ne la lui écris pas.
when do we use the passé simple and not the imparfait ?
thank you.
1 - Il y a bien longtemps
2- Il y a longtemps
What is the difference between these two sentences ?!
Thanks ;)
