Usage of à vs de.
The lecture above says this:
Note that you use à when describing going to or being in a city.And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
I'm confused. I thought we use à to say we are in a city. Why is it also used in "de"?
my friend sent me a message “bonjour mon kiki”. Can I ask what “mon kiki” means in this context

Just curious about Mathieu being 'in a team'. Is that how the french describe team membership? In US we say, 'on a team'.
Merci!
Moi j'ai dit "une petite gorge irritée" comme j'ai vu sur WordReference, mais ce n'était pas correcte. Est-ce que c'est trop familier pour cette situation? Merci d'avance!
Pourquoi la phrase"Et puis, aujourd'hui...." commence avec "Et". En anglais on ne commence jamais un phrase avec "And", on utilise "and" pour la continuation d'une phrase.
Wrong: Personne n'
Correct: Aucune n'
Any Reason why?
Thank you for your help
Bonjour,
I was wondering why "pas" isnt used in "ça ne fait rien", as usually to express a negative you'd have to use "ne ... pas". Is "pas" something that has been dropped in the expression over time? And are there other expressions which also use "ne" without the "pas"?
Thanks!
