what’s the difference between il fait du soleil and il y a du soleil? 

For example “I just got here. I’ll be staying for an hour”

The correct grammar would be to say: None of them is.... i.e. 'none' is treated as singular and hence the use of 'is' and not 'are'. Thanks again for a fantastic French course!

By GDP La Californie as of 2018 is 50% richer than Le Texas.  (Probably why so many French people live in L.A.!)

By median income Le Texas doesn't even make the Top 10.  The top 3 are 1. Le New Hampshire  2. Le Minnesota 3. Le Hawaii.

Just thought you would like to know ...  :- )

Does s’en aller take the future proche?  In other words, are “je m’en vais” and “je vais m’en aller” both correct ways of saying “I am leaving”? And if so, are they completely interchangeable, or do they have different senses or nuances?

Thank you!

Bonjour Madame !

In the sentence of the lesson -J’ai un chien et une chienne. The audio speaks “shienn” for both words although ‘chien’ is spoken as ‘shian’ with a nasal sound I recall .

Also ‘et’ is not clear to me . Maybe because I am not a native speaker. Please clarify.

Merci d’avance !

Bonjour à tous et toutes:

J'aimerais bien poser une question qui concern l'expression  "sauter le pas".  J'ai appris que cet expression signifie qu'on a décidé de se marier.  J'aurais dire "jeter à l'eau", n'est pas?  Je pense que cet expression est utilisé lorsqu'on parle d'un couple. Le deux veut-dire "take the plunge" en anglais.  Seulement une observation.  Don

why is the verb after qui "vient" and "fait"? I don't get that, sorry.

And how would I know to use other verbs the same way?

Hello,

I was wondering if I can post my translation of the reading exercise of Cher journal for my answers here to see how I did or is there a page where it shows it correctly of the translation?

Thanks for your help

I'm a little confused here  because I understand quitter to mean to leave something for good and sortir is merely to leave a place. in the question to translate: They leave their work at 7 o'clock - It seems the correct answer should be - Ils sortent leur travail à 19h, but the correct answer is giving me:  Ils quittent leur travail à 19h.  Why then is this correct?
