Are these two phrases interchangeable or is there a subtle difference in their usage?
I am not familiar with the phrase 'chômée'
What are the other prepositions and what is the difference between au and Dans?
When do you use the definite article with countries and regions?There's a kwiziq lesson about this: Using le, la, l', les with continents, countries & regions names (definite articles)
But in the text, country and region names are never accompanied by the definite article. E.g., "Duché de Bretagne," "royaume de France," "couronne de France," etc.
Also, I translated "beforehand" as "à l'avance" instead of "au préalable," which I thought were the same thing, but it wasn't one of the accepted answers.
Je viens de Milwaukee, Wisconsin, É.-U.
I wonder how this audio passed the Quality Control department of LKL. The speech was too fast to be understood by a learner even at B1 stage.
Are "l’autre soir" and "l’autre nuit" synonymous? Or different?
I can't speak for the other English speakers around the world, but as a native-born & bred Yank I can tell you that the word "whom" is almost nonexistent in American English. About the only places you will see or hear this in the States is in literature, academia, formal correspondence or maybe in the entertainment or news media. The reality is that Americans overwhelmingly use "who" in all of these cases to the extent that it is the accepted norm (even though it may drive the English professors crazy).
Les enfants ont-ils récité ces mots en sautant à la corde?
For example, I am wondering why the phrase je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales (I am having new sandals made) requires the "me" - would the meaning be changed if it was omitted?
