Can you add an apostrophe and say:
Aurélie is going to eat at her parents'
Why is it “des lasagnes’ and not “de lasagne”? Presumably I would only take one order of lasagne?
Or is it that it could be either ( which of course if it could, if I am super hungry) and the more important thing is that I can hear the difference between “des” and “de”, since it is a listening exercise?
Thanks.
A hint in the first question suggests "use vous form" in "votre (oeuvre d'art favorite)". But later, speaking to the same person comes the response "Je suis d'accord avec toi". Is there a reason for what appears to me to be an inconsistency? Same two people speaking.
According to the article, to express the previous time - we could use la dernière fois + the clause of the sentence. (la dernière fois is used interchangeably with la fois dernière if without a clause)
We can also use the same to express the last (final) time - la dernière fois + the clause.
How do I know which one this refers to? It could mean both the final time, or the previous time in the above sentence.
Merci beaucoup. Ce texte est très intéressant! Merci d’avoir partagé.
Normally I have used the preposition à before a city, as in je vais à Paris. You don't use au Paris. In this exercise, we have a city with a plural name, namely Les Sables d'Olonne. Apparently, one must use aux Sables d'Olonne in stead of à Les Sables d'Olonne. So, is this a general rule: à + name of a singular city and aux + name of a plural city name?
What is the difference in meaning and usage between these two phrases?
Qu’est-ce que c’est un stylo?
Qu’est-ce que c’est q’un stylo?
The question in the quiz read: Le DJ est insupportable. Tout le monde ______ pense. Fill in the blank with y en le, etc. So the answer is le. As I understand you use le when it replaces a phrase that starts with que or and infinitive. Where is the indication that I should use le? Thanks.
Why is au used with Pays de Galles and not aux?
