So which one is it? The examples say to use nos or notre with on. I did exactly that in the test and got it wrong. It would be useful to know when to use one and when the other one with on.
Oh la, la! 1 200 variétés! Quel préférer-toi?
Avez-vous une bonne Hachis Parmentier recette? Patrice
Is it always incorrect to write "vingtième siècle" rather than "XXe siècle" ?
I get caught out by the punctuation in the listening exercises, partly because modern English writing has now dropped so many of the commas that we used to have, and partly because it’s difficult to know from the audio what punctuation is needed. A lesson on this would be useful.
In the C1 writing exercise The King Cake, there is the phrase ‘ he or she will name out loud each person, who will then be given a piece of galette’.
The recommended translation of ‘who will then be given’ is ‘à qui on donnera ensuite’.
You could also say ‘à laquelle on donnera’ ?
I'm super confused about when to put an indefinite article before a noun like dancer, skater, singer. I know you are never supposed to use it when speaking about your profession. Je suis chanteuse. But, what if you are talking about a student. Il est élève? Is student a profession and what if that student does extracurriculars like ice skating? Il est un patineur sur glace or Il est patineur sur glace. How do you say you are a student but you are also a singer or a soccer player or a swimmer.
could you say 'c'est l'heure de mon rendez-vous'
1) Ce sont les plus beaux paysages de la région. VS. Ce sont les paysages les plus beaux de la région.
2) C'est la moins difficile question. VS. C'est la question la moins difficile.
3) J'achète le moins cher pull. VS. J'achète le pull le moins cher.
Is there a difference between the 2 ways of writing? Are both correct?
