In the last sentence, "I will go there to cheer you on.", the word 'there' is translated as 'là' and the use of 'y' was not accepted. Is it just a question of emphasis? I searched for a lesson to clarify the usage of 'y' and 'là' but was not successful. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
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
Instead of "après avoir couché le bébé", could I also say "après de coucher le bébé"?
J'ajouterais « se rejoindra » en plus de « se retrouver » et « se réunir ». :-)
It really sounds like 'Telle conversation passionnante' rather than 'quelle'. Am I mis-hearing it ?
In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel, referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility. Why not?
In English, "I have nothing more to say to you" has a slightly different meaning to "I have nothing to say to you any more" - I guess because the second stresses you’re not going to speak again and the first that you’ve nothing left to say. Is there a way to make the distinction in French ?
I used 'du coup' instead of 'donc' but it wasn't given as an option.
In the 'Fill-the-blanks' Kwiz 'Nos activites pendant les vacances', my answer: 'Les enfants essaieront la peche a pied avec un guide local' was marked wrong, with the correction provided of 'Les enfants essaierons ...' The correction Kwiziq shows is 1st person plural, but I thought that 'The kids will try shellfish gathering with a local guide' is 3rd person plural.
Au secours! Merci!
