Why is au used with Pays de Galles and not aux?
Can we use "d'habitude" at the beginning of a sentence?
"D'habitude, je ne prends pas le train."
Merci
What is the rule for using "au-dessous/dessus de" rather than "sous/sur"?
How do you remember whether to use de or à after a verb.
Is "T'ai-je déjà envoyé cet article" correct? Wouldn't hurt to be sure the adverb is also usually before the non-declined part of the verb ; ).
In this sentence, the word 'chaud' is referring the warm temperature outside, or does it mean spicy? as the words onion and garlic were mentioned preceding this.
Does the word 'chaud' means spicy as well as high in temperature just like in english?
Again, the use of little words like "bien" and "tout" are common in French and not direct translations from English. A unit explaining the uses of these two simple words would be really helpful.
"Il a bien compris." "Il a tout compris." "J'en ai bien envie." "Elle est tout heureuse." "Il y a bien de choses." "Il est a des kilometres de toute trace de civilisation."
Not trying to be a pest, but I would really like to master these simple little words and phrases to feel closer to fluent. Thanks.
the lesson says: To express after + -ing / after having + past participle in French, you use the same following structure:
après + Infinitif passé (= infinitive of auxiliary (être or avoir) + past participleATTENTION:
Use the same auxiliary as in compound tenses like Le Passé Composé.
But all the examples are using avoir. Could you expand a little about using être in this situation? Thanks!
