Can one also say ' je m'en servirai d'une'?
It wasn't offered as an option.
Thanks
Hi,
I was wondering. My friend had asked me a question How is your room? Would I still use elle est since it is specific when i respond to her?

Why is the music so loud? it's offputting!
In the sentence, "Chaque après-midi, dès que la cloche sonnait la fin de l'école, je courais jusqu'à la devanture alléchante de la mercerie Arnaud qui regorgeait de bobines de fil coloré, de boutons enchanteurs et autres tissus à motifs, tous plus attrayants les uns que les autres.", there appear to be a series of nouns associated with the verb, regorger de. We have de bobines, de boutons, but tissus (not de tissus). Why isn't it d'autres tissus to follow the pattern ?
The sentence to be translated:
Plus, his songs were extraordinarily varied…..
The correct answer:
De plus, ses chansons étaient si extraordinairement variées….
Why is si required here ? I left it out and was marked wrong.
If you wanted to say "You are not going to drive me...", would you say "Tu ne me conduis pas..."?
Why we are using the passe compose here? Isnt it describing the situation?
It does rather put modern man in a bad light, but that aside a good dictation exercise.
My main point though is that the woman's diction was clear but the man's was muffled and difficult to understand.
Alexandre is a proper noun, so shortening it to "qu'Alexandre" is optional and not necessary. Yet I got marked wrong for writing "n'a embrassé que Alexandre"
