Je adore LE Chocolat, but Je mange DU pain. You are generalizing in both sentences. I see no difference. Why is it DU pain?
I wonder how one is supposed to arrive at jeté mon dévolu for settled on.
I chose choisir which seems to me to capture the sense but wasn’t credited.7
hi,
I was wondering if in your example for cette aventure etait amusante why are you using cette? The rules state that if a noun starting with a vowel for masculine nouns you use cet. Or is it because aventure is a feminine noun?
thank you

Can you explain why, in the sentence "quand j'ai envie de viande", we do not have a future tense after quand? Thank you.

Hi
I have a question!
Is it ok to use like this?
->C’est la saison vraiment idéale!
I have always used imparfait for repeated events or actions in the past. However, you suggest passé composé in: "She saved up all year round" = "Elle a mis de côté..". I have found a reference that almost applies "..an action or event repeated a specific number of times" but there is no such specification here. Saving money over time seems to me to be an habitual or repeated action.
This may be a little arcane, but what is the general naming convention in French when using proper names from other languages that use the Latin/Roman alphabet, especially for famous persons? For example, in this exercise Leonardo Da Vinci is rendered in the French Léonard de Vinci. The Italian spelling seems to be widely used & in the States at least there has been a move towards using the native spelling of names in academic works & history books.
In English calling him Leonard from Vinci would sound really weird.
Bonjour! Je me demande pourquoi on dit "d'especes" et non pas "des especes" dans cette phrase?
Merci!
