Où habites-tu? j'habite à Barcelone.

Why using ( en ) instead of (à ) in this sentence is incorrect?!

Can I please ask for a little explanation on why is there Conditionel Passé in the text: "elle aurait été" and further on. Thank you!

The final transcript and the bottom 'correct answer line' in the exercise still have '...qui émanaient de ce coin de m'ont accompagnéeS .....' instead of just "....m'ont accompagnée" - agreement with the speaker's gender.  The upper line 'best answer' indicated in the exercise is correct however. Cécile has answered a query on this previously. (I think I remember correctly what was presented in the exercise, but can't go back to recheck)

I must admit I often ignore 'agreement' like this when a text is in first person singular, and instead just use the 'agreement' that applies to me.

How would I say, " Reading is my favorite pass-time, it relaxes me"? Where "it" refers to reading. 

Vite is marked wrong. Pourquoi?

The choice I chose was "the birds sang in the trees" as I thought it was descriptive! as in "Le soleil brillait sur la campagne" the sun shone on the countryside. But the correct answer was "the birds were singing in the trees". Why is this and how to tell the difference? Thanks,

Hi - there are a few questions regarding de vs du - but none with answers.

I would like to understand - why in this sentence it is du soir and de soir.

Nous profitons ainsi de la douceur du soir.

Apologies if this topic has been already been covered, I searched a ways down the thread but didn't see anything relevant.

If a discussion exists, I will gladly accept a posted link.

So, in short, outside of familiarizing myself with "bien que" through rote memorization, I struggle to hear "good that". Is there a separate definition or etymology of the word "bien" that would explain how it came to be used in the sense of "even though"?

Thank you in advance!

thes dessert that she craves- why not que?

The English given is: I almost got there late. Why isn't it J'ai failli y arriver en retard?
