How to say "I will arrive": j'arrive or je va arrive?
When I check the dictionary "louer" translates into English as "to rent" or "to hire", and conversely "to book" translates into French as "pour réserver".
Please explain why the plural is used at the end of this sentence dont les trois bâtiments entourant une charmante place centrale participent d'une atmosphère de petit hameau des plus pittoresques.
Also cabane is a female noun, shouldn’t it be surplombantes in the phrase below
l'une des deux cabanes surplombant le domaine
Thank you very much
Is the first example (Examples and Resources) an error or a weird idiom?
What are the situations in which we add « de » like this? Is it a general rule for talking about rates?
Thanks!
Je suppose qu'on peut dire "Elle est froid(e)" pour signifier "Elle n'est pas chaleureuse"? Ai-je raison? Si oui, est-ce que l'adjectif accord avec le sujet dans ce cas?
Why was the subjunctive used for « réunisse » in the first part of the sentence but not for « prend » for the second part?
« Mais ce qui me touche le plus est le fait qu'on se réunisse tous en famille et que chaque invité prend le temps de choisir un cadeau. »I tend to get tangled up with possessive "de" but wanted to query why the two capitalised nouns above take de l’ rather than d’? The dog is best friend of "Man" not "a man", and capitalising both nouns implies to me a generalisation or personification: despite that, they don’t seem to be treated as proper nouns in French.
ceci ou cela Doesn't celui-ci ou celui-la mean the same thing, this or that ?
Nous nous émerveillions toujours devant les champs de fleurs sauvages qui avaient tout juste commencé à éclore après l'hiver.
Merci mille fois!
