I enjoyed this exercise and have similar questionsThis is an area that I have found to be a bit confusing for me: Why is it "une tarte aux pommes; une tarte aux peches" but "une tarte/sorbet au citron" etc...?
It is "un cafe au lait" but is it "une glace au cafe" for a coffee ice cream, (one of my favorites) ?
I know that I , for one, would really appreciate a lesson on these terms.
And, then there are all the food terms which use "de"; "du"; "de la" and "des" !
Help!
Par exemple - pouquoi est-ce qu'on dit "un sandwich au jambon" mais "un verre de vin" ?
May I suggest a lesson which addresses adjectives for foods and "la cuisine" ? After all France is known for its excellent cuisine!
I think it would be very helpful !
Merci a tous !
Is the plural used to describe one funeral?
In this question, isn't there more than one candle? I chose faiblissons instead of faiblit.
Jai choisit cette expression mais elle n'était pas juste. Votre ordinateur a remplacé 'des' avec 'les'. Peut-être que vous puissiez regarder ça ?
My head is whirling after studying this long article, especially using the adverbs mieux / pire for making a general statement with être eg Ta télé est bien mais la mienne est mieux.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but surely in English you use the adjectival form here? You don’t say "yours is well …mine is better" but "yours is good…mine is better".
I think there is scope to highlight this more fully. [Edit: and indeed the Lawless article on Bien vs Bon that Chris referred to 4 years ago, actually says that bien is an adjective when used with state-of-being verbs]
Line 9: The audio says "effeuillez d'abord les fleurs,"
.......but d'abord is crossed out as incorrect by kwiziq in my written response.
"Tandis que le 14 février s'approche à grands pas"
1. What does "à grands pas" add here that is not covered by "s'approche"
2. Why is the reflexive verb used? Would not "approcher" cover the same semantic territory? It doesn't approach itself.
Thanks
Il y a quelques jours j’ai écouté un podcast sur lequel la présentatrice a parlé de ‘faire les courses’.
Elle a décrit un panier avec deux petites roues qu’on utilise pour apporter les achats chez lui. (Surtout utilisés par les grand-mères!). Je pense elle a dit que ce panier s’appelle « un chariot », et the trolley on utilise au supermarché s’appelle « un caddie » C’est correcte ou pas?
