This strikes me as strange phrase. Can you explain a little how the parts semantically make up the whole? Thanks!
How is it that Juliette says " je passe mes vacances” but then asks “ comment se passent tes vacances?” why is one reflexive and one not please?
Is it feminine because of 'assistance' (despite the subject being 'un peu'...)?
The given translation of "Vous êtes retournés dans la maison de votre enfance" is "You went back to your childhood home."
But can one distinguish between "going back to" (and remaining outside) and "going back into"? In other words is "retourner dans" invariable, or is "retourner à" also acceptable?To piggyback on the question below, sort of, I have heard & read the use of garder to describe babysitting children, par exemple: "Nous gardons les enfants ici." This obviously doesn't mean that they are physically keeping possession of the kids there, like prisoners (although the kids may think so). Is this one of those instances where context is everything or is it incorrect usage?
Why is it not "Je fais du diner" or "je fais le diner"? Why is it "a" instead?
Please advice which is correct and why?
