Au sud, dans le sud etc. Which preposition is correct, and if both can be used, is there a difference in when they are used ?
Merci en avance !
Fireworks is translated in this lesson as "le feu d'artifices" but in this page https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/studylists/view/946769 it is translated as "le feu d'artifice". In Larouse online it is translated as "le feu d'artifice" too. The Kwiziq writing challenge about Bastille Day also uses "le feu d'artifice".
But elsewhere on the web I can see examples with "les feux d'artifices" and even "les feux d'artifice". So all 4 possibilities of singlular and plural for both the noun and adjective are covered.
Are all of these variations correct?
I was watching an interview with Amira Casar on Cinéma & Moi, and the host asked her, "Qu'est-ce que vous aimeriez voir au cinéma plus souvent?" She answered, "Des scènes d'amour réussies... souvent c'est trop prude...c'est trop...il y a draps....j'y crois pas." I guess my question is, why j'y crois pas here instead of je le crois pas? Can both be used there? Does j'y crois pas mean something different from je le crois pas? (I don't believe it, don't believe them, it's not believable???)
