2 allers-retours. But grand-mère, not grande-mère.

Is it correct to say 'Il fallait qu'il annule son vacance' or should the 'annule' also be in the past tense? Merci.

Can one say, "Daniel habite à l'extérieur de la ville" to say "Daniel lives outside of the city", or is it wrong or odd? Also, when I was in school, we were told to use "au-dehors de" but you do not include it in the prepositions lesson. Do people use this preposition? It is in the Collins dictionary.

Isn't it supposed to be "une bouteille de champagne fraîche?" We're talking about a fresh bottle, yes?

Hi there I am wondering if you could explain why the Lui is used in l'accordeon lui touchait le menton instead of L'accordeon qui touchait le menton ? So it would literally translate to " the accordion to her touched her chin "

Sincerely

Una

What is the difference between le(COD) and y ? 

The translation was " Where I hope" why couldn't i say " Où j'espère" ? 

The answer "où avec un peu de chance" translates more like "where with a bit of luck".

Hello, I am a little confused on what makes the following example a general statement: La jupe coûte 30 euros. - C’est cher! 

Based off another lesson on using C’est vs il/elle est, it seems to me like the above statement is commenting on a specific item and should instead be:

La jupe coûte 30 euros. - Elle est chère!

What is the difference here? Merci!

Bonjour Madame !

Thank you for your support and Yes, I will surely co-operate with your French team with my queries in future and provide you sufficient time to answer my problems.

The example “ Vive le temps, vive le temps, vive le temps d’hiver doesn’t relate to en, l’ , au as being taught in the lesson. It might be a special, specific case. Thank you for your feedback.

Merci bien et bonne journée !
