For "faire une escale à Paris", is it not without the "une" as when I looked it up, it just says "faire escale = make a stopover" ?

possessive pronoun

Hi.

How come 'croire ses yeux' but 'faire les ongles'? I thought that it should be 'croire les yeux' as possessive pronouns should not be used for parts of the body.

Thanks

Megan

Questions regarding French "sunburn"

"So that I don't get sunburnt like last time" is "pour que je ne prenne pas de coups de soleil comme la dernière fois" in this exercise. I have two questions on alternative answers. Can we use avoir instead of prendre as the verb here, and is sunburn always plural or can we use it in the singular? (My answer was "pour que je n'aie pas de coup de soleil comme la dernière fois", but seems I was probably wrong on 2 counts?) Thanks.

Run-on sentences

Bonjour Cécile,

In the first A1 Listening Practice exercise, Liz asked whether run-on sentences are acceptable in French. Michael explained what they are. You asked Liz for an example, which wasn't given there.

The 4th and 7th sentences in this exercise are good examples.

I have seen so many of them throughout the exercises that I can only conclude they must be acceptable in French.

Still, confirmation of that fact would be welcome.
