More OptionsI feel like this one is lacking in options, as well, I need more clarity for my french comprehension:
A) "parce que j'aime la nourriture" wasn't a sufficient translation, although "because I love food" was the given sentence. The translations which were provided imply "I love food a lot" or "I really love food." Could more context be given other than "because I love food?"
B) "Résolue" is synonymous with "déterminée," is it not?
C) "Je vais manger équilibré" is not implicitly the same thing as "Je vais manger sainement." A balanced diet can be extremely unhealthy, (at least to my mind), as it implies eating more food groups, not necessarily less fatty or lower calorie or lower sodium foods. Are they synonymous in France?
d) "inscrire à la gym" seems to imply joining a (gymnastic) gym, while "inscrire au gym" implies a (physical fitness) gym, or am I mistaken??
Pourquoi utilise-t-on le singulier pour traduire "in the mountains" mais le pluriel pour traduire "in the Alpes" alors que les deux sont pluriels en anglais?

In Part 3 : La seule chose qu'elle nous a laissé faire, ce sont les carreaux, here "les carreaux" has been translated as "the windows" and I think that may be an error. Or are they a particular type of window that she had in her room that she didn't know how to clean?
Can someone please explain when to use "s'attendre à" versus "attendre" when talking about expecting? Expecting someone to do something - I was thinking that first sentence might have been "Laissez-moi vous expliquer ce que l'on s'attend à vous" (using the verb "s'attendre à") for "Let me explain what we expect of you", but instead the construction is "... que l'on attend de vous", using "attendre" which I associated with waiting rather than expecting.
Hi,
Can you kindly explain the use of the preposition in the following sentence.
In a phrase 'je t'aime de tout mon cœur' that translates to 'I love you with all my heart', why do we use preposition DE to express WITH rather more commonly use AVEC.
Kind regards, Kirill
Listening to the pronunciation of verbs like appeler in the first and second person plural, I don’t here any separate syllable in the verb where the single “l” is. , as in vous appelez, or nous appelons. It’s as if the “e” is simply omitted and the word is pronounced like “ applez” and “applons”. This is much more obvious with the female voice than the male. Could you clarify the pronunciation please?
