Qu'est-ce que sont les mots pour "winery" et "winemaker"?
Could someone please explain how to negate this expression? Thanks in advance.
This is in one of the green callout boxes in the lesson: "In this negative structure, you only use de or d' in front of a vowel or mute h." This really confused me when I first read it because it seems to say you shouldn't use either one if there's no vowel/mute h. I think a comma or parens would make it clearer: "In this negative structure, you only use de (or d' in front of a vowel or mute h)."
It's a bit weird...
Votre voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.
translated to: Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small
hmm... having the first part of the dialogue: 'Votre voiture est petite.'
the given correct answer: 'Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.' sounds to me as: Yes, but it (the car) is small in my garage.
now, the English 'Yes, but my garage is small' I would rather say in French: 'Oui, mais mon garage est petit.'
I might be wrong but this french statement / opinion example is somewhat not the best one here
anyone to explain this ?
Can "en hiver" also be translated as "during the winter"/"in wintertime" or would I have to say "pendant l'hiver" or something else? The translation "in winter" doesn't seem like common phrasing it seems almost like the beginning of a scientific statement and I'm bound to over-translate it.
Ron, I know this is very late in the game, but I had the same question. You asked for the phrase in question so here it is below.
The answer given is luit without a discussion of the two possible acceptable answers.
Thanks, Chris
