My French friend says it should be "claustrophobe"? Is that right? Please help clarify.
This answer appears in the writing challemge: "Pre-date stress".
The question was "All afternoon, he'd rehearsed in his head"
Why would the answer not end in "la tête"? Or at least allow both la and sa?
Isn't this a similar case to "il s'est gratté la tête" (He scatched his head) where the body part belongs to the subject of the verb.
What is the meaning of écrin ? It's not clear from searching the french dictionaries.
Je l'ai trouvé intéressant que l'on ne dit pas "aimer beaucoup" pour exprimer "aimer très fort". J'ai consulté ensuite quelques ressources sur Internet. Parmi des Français sont d'accord avec l'explication sur ce site mais il y a bien d'autres Français qui ne sont pas d'accord avec elle et qu'ils croient qu'"aimer beaucoup" est le même qu'"aimer très fort".
Existe-t-il des différences dialectiques, peut-être?
Why is it necessary to add "du matin" to "cinq heures trente" . Isn't it understood that it's 24 hour time, and it's therefore, AM?
