1. Oui, je pars en vacances
As per the lesson, it should be "M. Dupont et Mme Vichy vous allés au bureau." right? why is written vont ?
thanks in advance for the help
Anique asked a question 12 months ago on this - I think the point of raising it was that although it can be deduced (or guessed) from the lesson, there is no reference or example in the lesson that covers 'la douzaine' or similar, other than 'etc' at the end of the title. It would be worth adding a line or two to cover this in the topic.
Whereas partitive articles du, de la, de l', des and indefinite articles un, une become de or d' in negative sentences [See Du, de la, de l', des all become de or d' in negative sentences (partitive articles) and Un, une become de or d' in negative sentences (indefinite articles)], this rule doesn't apply to definite articles le, la, l' or les which remain the same in negative sentences
No two ways about it, listening practice is everything. Took me a while to get my lug (ear to an English person) around this dictation but pleased with the results.
I answered "Nous avons peiné a" rather than "avions du mal à". I think struggle is the better translation.
