I was not familiar with this expression. Vivement que ....
Vivement que je puisse faire des voyages cette année, for example?
Merci!
"and little by little, I became very small"--Why is passe' compose' used here? It seems an event with absolutely no clear beginning or end.
What is the different between vos and votre?
Why does tapisser not work here as a translation of wallpaper (verb)?
...as “which respect all the norms”. I’d translate this as “which are in accordance with all the standards”. Also, I’d say “glare protection standards” instead of “glare protection norms”.
In the beginning of the text, according to the context, "j'ai travaillé" could very well have been "je travaillais".
In fact, the second is more probable since it fits better: "A few years ago I was working at..." as opposed to " A few years ago I worked at..."
In "j'irai au Carnaval de Nice", why is the word "carnaval" capitalised.?
Their own website does not use a capital for "carnaval" in “le carnival de Nice”.
See this page where there are 2 instances:
http://www.nicecarnaval.com/le-carnaval
although, strangely, in other parts of the page, in different contexts, the word is capitalized.
Is there a way to avoid going all the way back to page 1 of the Q & A section when what is wanted is, for example, on page 7? By the way, the vast majority of the answers provided seem to be clear and appropriate and are much appreciated.
Is it that the sentence construction - eg the verb - will never need a direct pronoun with 'en' as happens with 'y'?
Or is it the the examples just haven't shown a direct object?
Could you use "chez nous" instead of "à la maison" to translate "home" ?
