Hello,
I'm having trouble with my sentence structures. Specifically, after the first verb in a sentence, when i present the second verb I dont know when to use "a", "de" or "pour". I would love some clarification on this!
Some examples for clarification:
- J'ai beacoup a faire
- Je veux parler francais (none of those intermediate words mentioned)
- On disait que des trucs sympas sur lui
- J'essaie juste d'oublier
- Je suis venue pour gagner
- C'est important d'etre gentil
Sorry for these examples, these are phrases I pulled from a magazine!
Pourquoi "les élèves français" au lieu de "les élèves françaises"?
Do you have any lessons or notes on why the [nombre] occurs after les années.
Ex- "Vous étaiez étudiants dans les années quatre-vingt."
Is it safe to say that with "an(s)" all of the numbers 1-10 are elisions except for quatre, cinq and neuf?
