Notice that to refer to a place previously mentioned in French, you use the pronoun y ('there').I am struggling with this. It seems to confirm the meaning I learned many years ago but then it all gets contradicted when we get venir de... where de itself is taking on a different meaning and is being used as a conjunction instead of an article. Maybe we need to forget the translation as "there" and formulate the rule as en replaces de and y replaces à.. and place is irrelevant?
The lesson notes an exception for naître (correctly) and for apparaître. It does not clearly state the exception for apparaître - although I note in discussion it has been mentioned it is because it also conjugates with être in passé composé. As I understand it, and checking other verb conjugation sites, this is correct but not what is shown on the verb conjugation site of Lawless French https://www.lawlessfrench.com/verb-conjugations/apparaitre/
Bonjour,
In the sentence from the lesson which reads-
“Vous allez aux Etats-Unis.” Here the acute accent on ‘E’ is missing . Should it not be as “États-Unis”?
why do we not say:-
L'année prochaine, il commencera à l'université
In the examples above we use tout in front of "heureuse" which is feminine and use toute in front of "hérissée ". We do the same for heureuses and honteuses.
What is the difference exactly for these two usages of tout and toute ?
I haven't touched french in three years, and when I try to test the AO stuff again, It throws in C1 stuff I haven't seen since 2019, and it's a little humiliating to get all of the other stuff right, but still watch my scores plummet because I didn't remember how to conjugate the imparfait on my "Introducing yourself" Quiz.
