Quelle est la différence d'utilisation entre les magasins, les commerces et les boutiques ? Est-ce une question de taille, de spécialisation, etc. ?
I get that "magasin" is generally a retail outlet & "commerce" is more for small business, but I've seen them used interchangeably. In the States "boutique" is usually for high-end or very niche-oriented items, but that doesn't always seem to track en français.
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?

Why is there no article after "amateur de" and before "histoire"? Is it just a fixed phrase?
Having this question in the quiz, I understand why the answer should be "son". What I don't understand is why there is no "pas" in the negative expression? (n'a oublié pas son billet)?
Why isn't it
Aussiot que nous arrivions..
They are reminiscing and describing things so i didn't think passe compose
I am wondering when I should use à qui versus auquel/à laquelle.
For the sentence: The girls who I am thinking about are pretty.
I said: les filles auxquelles je pense sont jolies.
But the correct answer was: les filles à qui je pense sont jolies.
What is the difference between these two ways of writing the sentence? Thank you!
Bonjour,
In this sentence which I found it in a book, vous etes combien dans ta famille?
Why they used "ta" and not "vos" or "votre"?
Merci
