My question is about the use of 'en' here. Does this sentence refer to something previously mentioned, the subject from which the speaker wants to benefit? Is it connected to the use of 'de' with vouloir?
Why pieces en chocolat instead of pieces au Chocolat? I always thought the principal ingredient of a food used "a la" or "au"..
Can you just use 'Flaques' instead of 'Flaques d'eau'?
Wordreference.com seems to think so.
Why is "horreur" singular in this instance, when the "films" aspect is plural?
Does horreur ever need to change? E.g. if it was PL: films d'horreur vs SG: film d'horreur
If des becomes de in front of an adjective that precedes a noun, why is this correct: je suis jaloux des nouvelles bottes ....? Here des is used preceding the adjective...
Do you lose 2 marks for each error you make in the translations?
Est-ce ta trousse ? - Oui, c'est la mienne.
Is this your pencil case? - Yes, this is mine.
In the above example, how is la used?
From my knowledge, le/la/les can be used for the following reasons:
1. to say 'the' as a definite article
2. to generalize (la vie est compliquée - life is complicated)
3. as a direct object pronoun (le - him, la - her)
does the usage of la come under any of the above categories or is it used in a new way that i must learn?
I was asked to fill in the blank for the sentence, "After he said that, he left," where the conjugation of dire was missing. I had been asked so much lately about passé simple that I used simply dit, when a dit was expected. I was marked wrong for that.
But isn't it also correct, although unexpected? Or is it just that a native speaker would never do that for such a simple sentence, so it should be discouraged?
Is it correct to say "il habite hors de la ville"?
Is there a way to get a quiz on a particular lesson in the Notebook rather than a quiz on everything in the notebook? Thank you.
