Why is this "jour" and not "journée"?
That was an interesting article that Maarten linked regarding the inclusive French writing which is being promoted by various people. I am interested in how they pronounce words with middle dots such as "militant.e.s" or "ecrivain.e.s" (or are they only used in writing for the moment?)
I assumed "dont" would be the correct answer since the relative pronoun is for "se servir de" which is a verbal phrase.
I thought "de laquelle" was only used for prepositional phrases ( près de, à côté de, autour de, etc)
However, both answers are marked correct. Can someone please clarify this for me, please?
It says:
You use à when describing going to or being in a city.
And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
So then how do you decide if you want to express being in a city since you use both de and à?
Hi - I'm wondering why the verb faire is used in the sentence "Mais la nouvelle cuisine fera 12 square meters" and not the verb être for the sentence "But the new kitchen will be 12 square meters". Thanks.
Help.. I am struggling with B2 rather more than expected and have just spotted that all the recommended lessons are C1.. can this happen or have I done something and how do I escape?
What is the meaning of enchaînait as it applies in this particular sentence?:
Il enchaînait les conquêtes amoureuses en évitant à tout prix de s'engager.
It doesn't seem to fit the dictionary meaning.
