A similar question has been asked but I dont understand why "à" is needed when "regarder" means "to watch"? So why is the extra "à" needed? I couldn't find anything that says "rester" is followed by "à" anywhere?
It says:
You use à when describing going to or being in a city.
And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
So then how do you decide if you want to express being in a city since you use both de and à?
Hi,
In the sentence 'On avait alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués..etc'
Why is 'éberlués' not singular to agree with'on'.
Is it because plurality is implied?
Is there a lesson on this to clarify?
Thanks
in this sentence: " J'ai acheté de nouveaux bols et de nouvelles assiettes " why use DE nouveaux bols.......... insteet of DES nouveaux .......
Hi,
The title reads, Autour du monde en moto, but in the first sentence of the text we are told to use "à" moto which actually seems correct since a motorcycle is an individual mode of transportation. Maybe you could fix the title?
Being in a line is not English for 'queuing up' ... even in your examples, you don't translate '..fait la queue ...' in this way.
do these adverbs need to agree with the object's gender?
Hi,
I was wondering why is it "je suis fière d'être utile" rather than "je suis fière être utile". Would it be incorrect to ommit the 'd'' in this case?Thanks,
