Au sujet de la phrase suivante 'je devrais être en train de boire un expresso en (à une) terrasse
je comprends bien la phrase, mais je demande pour quoi on ne peux pas l'écrire avec un 'sur' en place d'un à ou un en. N'est-ce pas aussi correct, 'je devrais être en train de boire un expresso sur une terrasse'?
In your recordings I sometimes hear the liaison of the t to the à and sometimes I do not. Should there be a pronunciation of the t onto the à?
After all, if I'm going to learn French I need to pronounce it properly
Est-ce que le verbe gambader utilise l'objet indirecte? (qui lui gambadait) Merci
"In the Languedoc region" was translated as "dans le Launguedoc". I followed this example to translate "in the Gironde region" but it was marked wrong and the correct translation provided was "en Gironde". In some cases a name is used with an article - as above, for example, or also in this exercise "la presqu'ile du Medoc" but "la plage.. de Port-Leucate". Are there rules about how to refer to different places? Thank you.
what gender can be used with du des a'l' de la and de l'
Now that is bizarre!
Is the sentence "Il s'est excusé pour n'apporter pas ses lunettes" a correct translation of the sentence above, if not, what is the correct one?
I assume it may mean "how unlucky of being pregnant" but how do I know to add the " de/d' "
I don't understand why these are both correct, but one's in the passe compose and the other is in the imparfait.
En 2004, j'avais de l'argent.
In 2004, I had money.
En 1815, Napoléon a perdu la bataille de Waterloo.
In 1815, Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo.
Is it because Napoleon only lost the battle one time, but we can assume I had money for the whole of 2004.
Hia - in the lessons notes, it says: "If subjects, verbs, and objects confuse you watch the cartoon video explaining them. They're easier than they sound."
Can you advise where the video is to watch? Maybe I am missing the obvious ;-)
