Aapparently when turning to take another street or road, one uses the preposition, dans, as in "...tournez à gauche dans la rue Jacques Cartier." But if one continues on this avenue or route, one uses the preposition, sur, as in "...Continuez sur cette route..."  However, then we have "... puis prenez la deuxième à gauche sur l'avenue de la Liberté" where now the preposition, sur, is used in this turn.  So, the prepositions are a bit confusing for us.  Can you give us some advice regarding sur and dans in the context of directions?

I have seen both of these being used, but I'm wondering if there is a semantic/pragmatic difference between the two e.g:

Il me faut partir

Il faut que je partisse.

Do these two convey a different idea, do they express different levels of formality, or are they completely interchangeable the only difference being that the former option takes less time to say

Especially the Robert Desnos poem, it’s so memorable.

Correct: Il est allé visiter une maison.

Incorrect: Il est allé à visiter une maison.

Can someone explain please? Thanks

The recording of the full lesson is not complete.

The question was “ tell your friends, don’t sit down!” Shouldn’t we use the tu form not the vous form in this case?

Celine, not to be too picky but it is "devions" rather than "devrions" isn't it?

hi,

I was wondering how one can say my goal using the posessive adjectives?

Merci
