The English sentence, "...know that nearly 150 nudist beaches are dotted along the French coastline." uses dotted. The translation uses 'jalonner'. I was wondering if 'parsemer' could be used in this context.
Rule: words ending in -é are usually masculine (no exceptions mentioned)
Question: What is this noun's gender: ''amitié'' ? (HINT: Look at the word's ending)Answer: FEMININE!
Given that it is obviously an exception, why ask it like this? Just discourages students who've gone to the effort of remembering the "rules".
Je ne suis pas vraiment le foot mais je me souviens du "coup de tête"!
est on peut utiliser quiconque dans le phrase "je pourrais forcer n'importe qui à dire la vérité,"- je pourrais forcer quiconque à dire la vérité,

Hello,
I wonder how I should say: "I only told him about it" ?
Is it: "Je ne lui ai parlé que de ca" (this is translated by deepL but it seems wrong to me)
Or should I just say: "I told no one but him" -> "Je n'ai personne parlé que lui"
Merci.
When do I use "ne...que" and when do I use "ne...plus que"?
Bonjour! I have two questions related to the first sentence of this exercise. Firstly, why does the first part of the sentence translate to 'Lille is less than two hours away by train' when the original sentence to translate was 'Lille is less than a couple hours away' (i.e. no specific duration). Additionally, why do we use 'ce qui en fait' instead of 'ce que le fait'? Merci beaucoup!
...in the following:
“et qui lui ont promis de lui montrer la vie...”
“et qui lui ont promis de lui faire découvrir la vie...”
Is this (a) a mistake, (b) just my ears missing the sound, or (c) a natural French abbreviation (a bit like “tu as” being pronounced as “ta”)?
