What is wrong with in question 4 answering "seulement" - it sound perfectly idiomatic.
Shouldn't it be deux plus deux égalE quatre?
Here it says that En can’t be used for people but I have heard it in the following context: Tu as des enfants, oui j’en ai trois. In this case en is referring to people?
Just when I think I might have that French partitive sorted out, I fear not!
" un petit pot adorable de la confiture à la framboise." My thinking was that the container was named, "un petit pot" so why not "de confiture..." ?!
... I hear “parapluie”. However, in “et j'achèterai un parapluie robuste” I hear “paraplu”. Is there really a difference there, and if so, why?
Why is "dont" incorrect here?
Could you please clarify if these go before or after a noun -
1. Fou/Fol/Folle (crazy)
2. Mou/Mol/Molle (soft)
3. Mince (slim/thin - opposite of gros/grosse)
4. Court/Courte (short - opposite of long/longue)
5. Mignon/Mignonne (cute)
6. Bas/Basse (low - opposite of haut/haute)
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!
