Il désire retourner A LYON. ….a) Il y désire retourner OR b) Il désire y retourner. Generally the pronoun precedes the infinitive, but at the same time we are told it should precede the verb it modifies. Could you please explain whether a) or b) is correct and why?
Why is the subjunctive in this case not used with ‘ne'
Is ‘its been a long time since ‘ always followed by a verb in the negative? Some language sites seem to have sentences without a negative.
What are fleurs de coton? White flowers?
Si seulement nous tous étions aussi sages comme ce papa !
1. Can I use "empirer" instead of exacerber or aggraver in the sentence "ce qui ne faisant qu'exacerber les problèmes ..."?
2. Why do we use faire ... instead of the word itself?
Is the audio for “parce que je n'ai pas envie de manquer le début du concert” correct? My “French ears” are admittedly not the best, but I’m not getting “envie de manquer” at all, more something like “vide … quel”…

Hi. Would it also be correct if I had added the little pronoun “en” in this final sentence of the exercise.
i.e. “et nous en avons profité de chaque minute“, or “nous en avons apprécié chaque minute” or “nous en avons savouré chaque minute“ ? (I was trying to be very literal and trying to get the “of it” into the sentence instead of just “we enjoyed every minute”)
Thanks.
