French language Q&A Forum

I just had a question about the usage of de vs du in "l'école du chocolat".

Why can't we say "l'école de chocolat" ? And why are we using "du"?

Hi, I wonder about passer par qqn, there are examples as follows:

Yann passera par chez Laura après le travail.

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici

But what about: Yann passera chez Laura ... & Ma tante est passée à la boulangerie.(I've just omitted par). 

Isn't the meaning the same here ? Thank you.

I wasn't confused about this till I read the response to why is there the "de" between"c'est" and "perdre".  In your response you say if "adjective or past participle in-ed" comes after être, but there is no adjective or past participle after "c'est", so why the "de"?

Thank you for your contribution, Maarten !

- être + adjective or past participle in-ed + de + verb

- être + de + verb

Why does noisette not become plural in this case? I can´t figure this out. I don´t see a double adjective with colors. I also don´t see hazel as a thing like an orange. Maybe that´s what I´m missing.? Is it actually a hazelnut or something? Can you explain this one to me? Thanks so much!

Hello, today while watching the news I picked up the sentence:

on a isolé les murs au cas où nous devions rester longtemps.

I wonder why "devrait" is not used in this case.

And can we use e.g. /dans le cas où + sentence/ instead of /au cas où + sentence/ ?

Merci.

Bonjour, 

When would it be appropriate to use 'à tout à l'heure' instead of 'À très bientôt'? 

Merci!

Bonjour!  Can someone help me with this sentence - in particular the word "en."   I am a little confused about why "en" is used along with "un épisode."  I probably would have written J'en regarderai un ce soir to mean I will watch one tonight.  Merci pour votre aide !
