While attempting a kwiziq test, I came accross this:
Je viens de Hong Kong.
Et
Je viens d'Ottawa.
Why the de with hong kong do not change to d' ...This seems contrasting to the rule I studied about 'les prepositions de lieux'
Where can I find the vocabulary used in the dictation exercises? I clicked on the all related grammar/vocabuary link, but it only gives the grammar. There were lots of expressions/words used for which I couldn't find a proper translation in the context of the exercise. Alternatively, a translation for the dictation would be useful
For "I believe that it would enrich my life" the only correct alternative given for "believe" is "je pense". Is there a subtle reason that "je crois" would not be as appropriate in this particular context?
(Also there is a rogue full-stop that has snuck in between "horizon" and "en ouvrant" in the second sentence of the exercise)
et il m'a dit qu'il en avait encore
Did you know that the position of adverbs can vary in French just like in English?
"I really need you to find out the reason why it's not working anymore,"
Regarding the above please explain why the imperfect tense is used for the verb trouver (trouviez), I would have thought that either the present tense (trouvez) ... "you find out"
or the future tense (trouverez) ... "you will find out"
would correctly translate from the English text?
