I am reading an easy french novel and am confused about the grammer in these instances:
Il ne vous reste qu'a (with accent acute) vous enfuir.
qu'est-ce que j'ai a (with accent acute) perdre
why is the enfuir not conjugated, and preceded by the a?
why do you need the a before the perdre?
thanks for your help

Does Ne ... pas + Passé composé + depuis longtemps =
Ne ... plus + Présent indicatif + depuis longtemps ? (Statements in either of these formats mean the same??) To help clarify, could you please provide translations for these statements a) to c) below (any other examples would be greatly appreciated) Thanks in advance.a)Tu ne fumes pas depuis longtemps.
b)Tu n'as pas fumé depuis longtemps
c) Tu ne fumes plus depuis longtemps
"Papaoutai" = "Papa où t'es"?
"Jacques est descendu du haricot magique." was translated to: "Jack got off the magic beanstalk." I answered, "Jack climbed down the beanstalk" and it was marked wrong. Larousse clearly states that "descendre de" (using etre as the auxiliary verb) means "climb or climb down". Hence, my confusion.
For the section that translates as, "Et avant de partir, je me tiendrai fièrement à l'entrée du parc," the hint says that "we use 'on' here." But then the correction uses "je."
Il y avait une opposition considérable à la construction de la tour. De nombreux artistes et écrivains étaient contre le projet mais la popularité de la tour et de l'exposition a fait taire les objections.
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Linh et je viens d'Hanoi en Le Vietnam.
The correct answer given above, why is 'En' not used when the lesson notes says that 'En' should be used for specific day followed by 'prochain'. Is that rule different in this case as putting the 'En' would sound weird.
Bonjour,
I just wanted to point out that the multiple-choice questions on this test did not include the instruction that, "one, some, or all may be correct." In the past this has led me to choose only one option even though I thought that more than one was correct. This time, I chose the options that I thought were right and aced the Kwiz.
I bring this up only because it may cause some confusion to other learners as well.
I realize that I should have clicked on the Report button, but I had already returned to the lesson.
Merci beaucoup !
