Is there any difference between "il a fait exprès de casser ma poupée" and "il a cassé ma poupée exprès"?
I've only ever encountered the latter before, and it seems more straightforward to not have the extra verb floating around, but perhaps there's a subtle difference that I'm missing?
J'ai choisi abimer au lieu de ruiner, un mot qui n'était pas dans mon vocabulaire avant. C'était un mauvaise utilisation d'abimer ? Dans la même phrase, j'ai utilisé jolie au lieu de belle. Un autre mauvais choix?
Hello everyone.
I'm reading the book, La Belle et La Bête, and I saw une année passe. Why does it use année instead of an?
Thank you
As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration?
Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip. Why the imparfait here? It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive. It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.
Bonjour! Can someone help me with this sentence - in particular the word "en." I am a little confused about why "en" is used along with "un épisode." I probably would have written J'en regarderai un ce soir to mean I will watch one tonight. Merci pour votre aide !
Please could you add the term 'kernel' or 'stone' to your translation of 'noyau' ('pit')? This would be helpful for UK learners.
could you use lit matrimonial instead of lit double?
This discussion has me confused- it seems contradictory. The question was L'année ______ Napoléon a été sacré empereur. I knew that 'où' would be correct, but from comments in the thread it stated that 'pendant laquelle' would also be correct. So I tried that but it was marked wrong. I'm also confused as to whether 'dans laquelle' would be ok. There are comments in the thread that imply it is ok, but others that it "doesn't sound right". Can someone clarify? Thanks
