I have seen that the verb retourner is used with "Y
Nous y retournons demain.
We go back there tomorrow
"Il n'a pas pu retourner de la guerre.
He couldn't return from the war.
Can I say
il n'en a pas pu retourner
He couldn't return from there
Does it work like that?
Why did it change from "on" to "nous" in the last sentence? Is it just more common with commands?
Just to be sure. Is it okay if I say,
« Regardez cette fleur. C’est beau, n’est pas? » ?
What is the English for “ je me suis fait avoir comme un bleu.”
If talking about an electric car (fem) why wouldn't I say : c'est moins bruyantE? Correction says bruyant.
I thought I heard on the audio 'On a passé le samedi à nous baigner'. Can you say either se or nous here?
Why is it Allez when it is followed by the tu form of the verb? Why isn’t it Va?
In all other lessons your examples are given in the order of conjugation, which I find enormously helpful. In this one the order jumps all over the place. It's a very minor issue, but could you re-arrange the sentences? Thanks so much.
(1) Can you use "désavantage" which, on the face of it, is the obvious word to use for 'disadvantage'?
(2) Can you use 'pile' instead of 'batterie'?
Or is there some nuance of meaning which I'm overlooking here?
