I enjoyed this exercise and have similar questionsThis is an area that I have found to be a bit confusing for me: Why is it "une tarte aux pommes; une tarte aux peches" but "une tarte/sorbet au citron" etc...?
It is "un cafe au lait" but is it "une glace au cafe" for a coffee ice cream, (one of my favorites) ?
I know that I , for one, would really appreciate a lesson on these terms.
And, then there are all the food terms which use "de"; "du"; "de la" and "des" !
Help!
Par exemple - pouquoi est-ce qu'on dit "un sandwich au jambon" mais "un verre de vin" ?
May I suggest a lesson which addresses adjectives for foods and "la cuisine" ? After all France is known for its excellent cuisine!
I think it would be very helpful !
Merci a tous !
Pourquoi on n'écrit pas "en tant que votre thérapeute??????
Especially the Robert Desnos poem, it’s so memorable.
Elderly Brit here. I would use the English past perfect in both halves of a sentence like "By the time I had finished eating, he had drunk a whole bottle" - when he’s drunk the bottle, I’ve already finished eating, a completed action.
Without wanting to split hairs, is the concept of the French "le temps que" slightly different to "by the time that" or does it just take (to my mind!) a less logical tense?
the answer given as correct for, Elle fait de la danse , is She takes dance lessons. Surely it would mention ‘lesson’ in the French? Doesn’t it just mean she goes dancing regularly?
merci

Why is my answer incorrect when I have a hypothetical "si" clause. The lesson said passé composé is never used with a "si clause". The correct answer used future conditional for the verb être. Thank you.
Are there times when you say "de les" instead of des? For example, in this sentence ... Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher de les manger versus Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher des manger??? Thanks for any feedback.
Hello, in the first example mentioned
"I saw magnificent places"
The answer in french is "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques."
Why is it "des" here instead of d'endroits ??
Why is it "Tarte au Maroilles" and not "Tarte aux Maroilles"?
