This is probably British slang for spend extravagantly. I have never heard this used in the U. S.
In this example, "You are leaving next Tuesday, aren't you", the correct answer used the present tense to indicate immediate future, but next Tuesday is not the immediate future. What is the cut-off? A week? A month? It varies?
In the first sentence, "...if you ended up alone on a desert island, and (that) you could only take one thing with you..." the french verb prendre is not accepted for take. Yet in the third sentence, "OK, if I had to take one thing I can't do without...", prendre is in fact usedfor take. The context seems the same in both sentences. Should not prendre be acceptable in the first sentence as well ?
I thought that 'le présent' is used for the present and near future tenses, so why the answer of "Anne et Antoine se promènent avec leur chien." is only makert right to "Anne and Antoine are going for a walk with their dog." ?
Can't "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." be correct as well?
I know that the question is related to the lesson but I wan't to know if that meaning is correct in the day-to-day use.
Why is "dont" incorrect here?
Why is it "de jolies cartes romantiques " and not " des jolies cartes romantiques "? It seems like it should be parallel with "des boites" and "des bijoux". Thanks.
