Could "du coin" substitute for "local" in the context of a local newspaper?
Why is the superlative in the plural, when the subject is singular?
Bonjour,
I found this sentence on wordreference when I checked the word profondeur:
Ce gouffre a trente mètres de profondeur.
Is it correct??
Merci
I found this sentence in a french textbook for kids.
Moi, je vais au cinéma. Et vous, vous allez vous promenez.
I wonder whether it is just a typo of promener or it means something else other than futur proche.
I always understood "le conditionnel présent" to mean "could," but here you're indicating that it means "would," which has a completely different meaning. Is that just true with "aller" or how do you tell when it's could or would?
He quit smoking for five months but when the sun returned he started going out again? Is “when the sun returned” an expression meaning when warm weather returned?
The notes to the translation reference the lesson that teaches that most adjectives come after the noun. Short and common ones come before, but I don't think "majestuese" fits either of these requirements.
So, why is it placed before in this case, and the reverse placement is not accepted?
