Hi,
I see here that assez is used to mean "not enough", but doesn't it also mean "that much"?
Ils n'ont pas assez d'argent. -> Couldn't it also mean that they don't have that much money? Not with the implication that is not enough for a specific purpose, but rather not that much in general.
How to tell them apart?
Dans les notes, le prof écrivait plusieurs fois "None of them are ....". En fait, "none" en anglais est une contraction de "not one", si la bonne conjugaison du verbe en anglais serait "None of them is .....".
So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? -
- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?
"La dernière fois que nous avions fait ça ensemble, c'était en 2011! "
I think "la dernière fois où" should be given as an option. See:

- Grevise: 725
Or is "la dernière fois où" as unusual (even if grammatically correct) to encounter as "chaque fois où"?
Are there other usages of "fois" where "où" whould be very unusual?
(The other use of "fois" in this example "les rares fois où les attaquants adverses se sont approchés de notre but" does not seem to be one of them.)
I'm sorry but it's very hard to follow the explanations.
In this lesson, you basically mean:
des autres = the other(s) - specific ones, whenever "de" would be in front
d'autres = other(s) - unspecific, generic
Could you please explain the difference between toucher and toucher à? What do they imply?
Please share some examples.
(For e.g., what is difference between - Ne pas toucher à mes clés! & Ne pas toucher mes clés! )
Hi, I used " pour autant que je m'en souvienne" and it marked my answer as wrong. Can someone please explain that. thanks
j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?
"I have been living here for 10 years" --> J'habite ici il y a 10 ans". I know the translation provided by the video is "Il y a 10 ans sue J'habite ici". Why can't I say the I live part (J'habite) first? Thank u :)
