In the second sentence "Elle est triste parce qu'elle a une larme sur la joue.", the Sebastien character pronounces the article "une" ooneh instead of oon. It sounds like he's saying une alarme. I've listened to that passage multiple times and I can hear it clear as a bell.
In the seventh sentence "Oui, elle a besoin d'une sieste !", the other character pronounces the article "une" as oon. There is a distinct difference between the two characters' pronunciations.
Is this a difference in dialects that one just has to adapt to and if so where is it most likely to be encountered? I could see this causing confusion.
For the clause "and I'm talking to a talented painter." why is "Je parle à ..." incorrect? The exercise only accepts "avec" yet the English given was not "talking with," but "talking to."
Allô
For this sentence:
Paul ne mange que de la purée.
Should we not remove the la for this sentence since it is a negative sentence? I thought the rule stays the same for all negative statements.
Merci
does Y replace en + place too?
for example,
1) Il habite en France. -> Il y habite.
2) Elle vit en Espagne. -> Elle y vit.
Why is "a busy weekend" spelled "un weekend" instead of "un week-end"? Is this a parisian vs Québec thing?
Pourquoi « célèbre mets » mais « plat réconfortant » svp ?
1) pourquoi mets vs plat
2) pourquoi adjectif avant le nom vs adjectif après le nom
Salut! Je suis d'accord avec toi , mais je ne pense pas que c'est ma saison favorite. Bah ouais cette saison est tres belle. C'est vrais , les illuminations et decorations sont magnifique! J'adore l'ambiance de Noel. Je suis aussi un cinephile donc j'aime trop regarder de les films de Noel par example Home Alone ou Christmas chronicles. J'aime aussi quand le soleil brille sur le paysage enneige et generalment quand il neige.
bisous!!
I'm a bit confused as to how to modify a noun in some instances. For example, this exercise uses "sauce au vin rouge" (red wine sauce), and marks "sauce vin rouge" incorrect while another exercise uses "sauce tomate (tomato sauce) and marks sauce à la tomate" incorrect. Can you explain the différent constructs and why one is correct and the other isn't?
3________ enfants sont insupportables. Your children are unbearable.(HINT: Use the 'vous' form)VosTes
I thought payer could take a direct object: why is the "pour" needed here?
It’s a great shame that alternative answers aren’t provided if you get a correct, "matching" answer in the Writing exercises - the list of possible translations is such a useful tool.
