Can I use this phrase in situations like, "That's it! I've had enough!" Or would ça suffit be more appropriate here?
A multiple choice question I got gave me the options of (1) “La porte fait un mètre de large.”, (2) “La porte a un mètre de large.”, (3) “La porte est un mètre de largeur.”, (4) “La porte est large d'un mètre.”. According to the dictionary I use, you can use avoir, too, and it gives the example of “Ce meuble a 45 cm de large.”; however, the quizz insists only (1) and (4) are correct. Who’s right?
Please: could someone please explain why the "de" is necessary in the following sentence:
"Il avait trop bu la veille de l'accident. "
I don't understand the need for the "de" following "la veille."
Thanks in advance!

on peut dire
la seule personne personne souriante le premier jour de retour

à la place de
la seule personne à sourire le jour de la rentrée !
si attendu
qui me séparent de mon retour au bureau
merci !
J'ai vu cette phrase dans un des exercices:
Ça serait fantastique si j'en avais ras-le-bol de mon boulot
Et je ne comprends pas pourquoi je dois écrire "en" là. Je comprends que cet "en" prend le lieu du "mon boulot", (n'est-ce pas?) mais "mon boulot" est là, alors pourquoi devons-nous le répéter?
Est-ce que "Il soutient l'équipe de Paris..." est acceptable aussi? Quelle est la différence d'usage entre "soutenir" et "supporter" si il y en a un ?
All our lives, we'll have wanted to be together. Some things are simply not meant to be.(HINT: Conjugate "vouloir" in Le Futur Antérieur)aurons vouluavions vouluserons voulusaurions voulu
In this story, the writer is still waiting the response from the interviewers, thus I would assume he is still working. Hence shouldn't we use Je travaille tellement dur depuis quelques années ? I assume he is still working hard.... :)
Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive.
