Pouquoi le mot "regorgeant" ne s'accorde pas avec le nom féminin "la carte"? J'ai écrit : "de la carte regorgeante de plats".

Bonjour tout le monde,

I just check the online linguee dictionary and found that there is adj for wind, it is:

venteux 

So is it correct when I say: 

Le temps est venteux?

Merci 

How can I know whether the city contains a definite article or not? Is there some rule?

Why not include the meanings of "vase" as they change according to gender? La vase is mud, whereas le vase is a vase.

Why does "de" follow "je dois" and precede "avoir" in this sentence?

Isn't ammener to bring (a person)? What is emmèner?

Hi Aurélie: Maybe you could put some clarification in the lessons re. the above le/du question. Unfortunately, it falls in the middle of the partitive and the definite article lessons. As your examples above, I had always seen that the definite article was used for general cases, the classic being “J’aime le thé”. But to me, “Je bois le thé” seems just as general (and same meaning). As would “Je mange le pain”. But it seems that for verbs involving consumption of the item that the partitive should be used; as in one of the lesson questions “Je bois du jus d’orange au petit-déjeuner.” That sure seems general to me. Would “I like tea at breakfast” now be “du thé” ? Thank you.

Aurélie le rappellera ________.  

For this fill-in question I answered d'ici le lundi  (wrong)  instead of d'ici lundi.  This is surely something I "learned" a long time ago (lundi vs. le lundi) but have forgotten because I haven't used it much.  Could you please point me to a lesson where I can refresh my memory?

Thanks very much.

How would you say: how was it?

I think it's: comment s'est passé?

Is this correct?
