Les Prépositions (sur/dans/avant/derrière)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
The lesson states that when talking about “time”- ‘avant’ and ‘après’ are used.
Now, if a sentence is ->
1.Mon chien court ______ le petit chat.
I think here, the answer should be “après” (after) because in English too, we say- The cops ran after the thief. But, why is the answer “derrière” ?
2. Regarde le bel oiseau perché ________ cet arbre !
Why is “sur” correct ? I had opted for “dans”. How can we judge the difference between “dans/sur l’arbre” ?
3. On admire les grands palmiers ________ l’île.
Again, here the answer is “sur” ? The other options- “dans/à” are not acceptable. What is the grammatical concept behind this?
Je vous remercierais du fond de mon cœur.
Bonne journée!
Hi Kwiziq,
I have noticed a few new lessons show up but then dissapear, e.g. meaning of Pauvre.
If these are yet to be released lessons then thats fine, I just wondered if these was a problem with my subscription.
Great work as usual !
Has anybody seen the subtítles in the video ?
How is "it" "that" this these and those written and pronounced in French?
Quite often my written answer is marked wrong simply because I failed to insert a space before punctuation. I am trying to train myself to add the space, but it does not come naturally for me when I write in English. Why do you insert a space before certain punctuation marks, notably exclamation, colon and question mark? For example: This sentence ! and This list : and This question ?
It seems you do not insert a space before other punctuation marks, such as period or comma, for example:
Like this, or Like that.
Why ?
bonjour,
wouldnt the phrase je vais skier translate to "im going to ski" and not I go skiing?
Wouldnt you say en hiver, je fait du skie or something like that?
merci!

This was the question:
"Tu as les billets ? Oui, je les ai tous" means:From a drop-down multiple choice, I answered that it meant "I have everything" but I wasn't sure that was correct because of the "les"
The correct answer was, "I have all of them," but couldn't that be written as, "J'en ai tous?" That's where I got confused.
