how does one say is it far or is london far from here or how do i get there?
According to Wordreference - a secondary school teacher in France - collège ou lycée is enseignant/enseignante - a professeur is one that teaches at university as well. In this Writing Challenge you used professeur.
If "J'ai failli rater mon examen" means I almost failed my exam, how would one say I almost missed my exam? Seems like there is some ambiguities in the word rater in this context. Thanks.
The English translation of this ' By the time he's had his lunch, you can have a shower' is agreed by 50 of my fb friends to be ungrammatical and not something an english person would say. The wrong answer - the time it takes him to have lunch, you could have a shower, is much more what we would say, although we'd say 'In the time..' and you might say'In the time it takes him to have lunch, you can have a shower' although could is better. Could someone please pay attention to this. It feels wrong consistently having to select a fake English answer.
I can say, "I am bringing two bottles of wine there" I believe like this:
J'y apporte deux bouteilles de vin.
Can I say, "I am bringing two of them there" like this?
J'y en apporte deux.
Or would it be:
J'en y apporte deux.
Or would you use a completely different construction?
thanks, Scott
