How do you say "within an hour"?"Dinner will be served within an hour" was the wrong choice on the test for "le dîner sera servi dans une heure". If I wanted to be less precise than "in an hour's time", how would I express that?

Avoir + Transitive & Etre + IntransitiveSo in general, when a verb is both transitive and intransitive, we should use avoir with the transitive version, and when applicable, use etre with the intransitive version?

Qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça?D'habitude, quand vous avez introduit une nouvelle tournure comme <qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça>, j'aime bien essayer d'utiliser soit <en> soit <y>. Dans ce cas-ci, où on se trouve soit <en> soit <y> au lieu de <ça>. J'ai du mal à trouver où on met les deux mots. Autement dit, qu'est-ce qui te en fait penser ou qu'est-ce qui te fait en penser ou peut-etre on utile <y>. Penser à ou Penser de? Peut-etre ce n'est pas possible d'utiliser ni l'un ni l'autre. Merci d'avance. Don

à l'épicerie vs chez l'épicerieOn the week 70 writing challenge, A1 level, the question is 'Je vais ____ épicerie." I wrote chez l'épicerie, but it was marked wrong. If one says "Je vais chez le dentist" or "Je vais chez la boulangerie", why would 'chez l'épicerie' be wrong? I don't see a difference. Thanks for the help! Terri
