haïr vs détesterWhat is the difference between haïr and détester? Couldn't I just as easily say Je te déteste and so on? Is one "stronger" than the other.

vous êtes assis??Hi - the example "Le canapé dans lequel / où vous êtes assis m'a coûté une fortune", the translation has me a bit confused (where you're sitting = vous êtes assis). My mind wants to make "where you're sitting" the present tense - ie: vous (vous) asseyez. However if the passé composé is correct, my brain wants to either write vous vous êtes assis, or vous avez assis?? Thanks in advance..

Interested to know why "mal de gorge" wasn’t accepted?

Incidentally there’s a very rare type of severe throat infection known as "Vincent’s angina" in English. I find from the internet that it’s named after a French epidemiologist with the magnificent name of Jean Hyacinthe Vincent.

About se promener et promener

Bonjour Aurélie, Laura

I was wrong when writing”Je me promène avec mon chien”. Kwiziq has an example in the explanation :” Je me promène dans le parc avec Julie”. The différence here is la place “ dans le parc”,right? I feel confusing. Thanks a lot.
