I have a doubt if the following direct to indirect speech. Which one of a & b is right? Thanks in advance. Une mère demande a son fils
Could you use "je suis pressé(e) de..." for "I can't wait to...". i.e. Je suis pressé(e) de découvrir le manoir hanté...
I thought I had seen that construction suggested as a possibility somewhere in the past, but I'm never quite sure if it rings correctly to a native speaker, or if that sounds more like "I'm in a hurry to..." (i.e. more stressed than excited).
I was marked wrong for using vous vous reppeler
Should je suis toujours anxieux also be an accepted answer compared to je suis toujours nerveux? Or perhaps anxieux is considered more a medical condition and too strong in this context?
Could you have "Vous nous accompagnerez la prochaine fois"? as well as "Vous viendrez avec nous.."?
Thanks
The difference is the same as in English: une glace de marrons -- an ice cream made from chestnuts (the main ingredient is chestnuts)
une glace aux marrons -- an ice cream made with chestnuts (chestnuts are not the main ingredient)
This nuance wasn't clear from the lesson above. How does one distinguish 'from' versus 'with' in such cases?
Hmm ...bit confused by the use of C'est in the translation for the very last sentence. Surely, the statement is not general (as per the hint) but applies specifically to 'les rogails a la saucisse ..etc. and is similar to examples in section 2b of the C'est/ Il/Elle est Tutorial ..... 'Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau.'
In the sentence "Bien qu'il ne reste qu'une petite partie du pont aujourd'hui, elle offre encore une vue spectaculaire sur le Rhône et la ville." it seems le pont is masculine but in the second clause is is referred to as elle. Should this be il or am I missing something?
