Why does "de" mean "in" here?
In the exercise "Hanoucca dans ma famille (Vocabulaire)", it is spelled "hanoukkia" with two k's. Are both spellings correct, or just one? Thank you!
Hello. I answered the following exercise question incorrectly, selecting en instead of dans.
Les enfants sont ________ le métro.
The children are on the subway.I recently read this guidance in a Quick Lesson and thought en would be the correct choice. Could both be considered correct?
When talking about travelling somewhere, you will use à for "individual" modes of transport (walking, bicycle, bike etc), and en for "group" modes of transport (bus, coach, car, subway, etc).
Thanks for the help!
Hello,
I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.
In my experience, ''fin de semaine'' is used in Quebec much more than ''weekend''. Are they interchangeable in France?
Could you please explain the difference between toucher and toucher à? What do they imply?
Please share some examples.
(For e.g., what is difference between - Ne pas toucher à mes clés! & Ne pas toucher mes clés! )
Est-ce que on peut aussi mettre ce adjectif «délicieux» devant «gratin (n.)» parce que «délicieux» est un adjectif utilisé fréquemment dans la vie quotidienne?
Not sure why - it does not seem a particularly unusual word to use in this context ?
It is interesting just how many words French has for 'annoying'!
