In the last sentence, the English prompt was, “we go into the living room.” I understand that “dans” means in, but for the act of getting there, I thought it would be more appropriate to say, “nous allons au salon.” If were were already there, I would think “dans” appropriate. Can you help me understand?
dans le passe simple et le passe compose
why passé composé is used here instead of present tense?
Why is it 'conquérir le reste de la Gaule' but then just 'les peuples de Gaule'. I think I've seen the same thing with France in sentences - sometimes 'la France', sometimes just 'France'.
This sentence is translated as "I waited after he got on the train to leave" in the lesson above. But I'm wondering if it would be more accurate to translate this as "I waited until he got on the train to leave?"
Dear Sir/Madam,

2. Vous vous êtes rasés ce matin?
Faithfully,

I knew that making it imperfect and adding the "à" didn’t make sense but…. Too funny
Is that pronunciation common?
Thanks, K
