I am trying to understand why one needs to ad the D' in the sentence D'où venez-vous? 

why not simply say :  Où venez-vous?   Why is the de important here?  

Bonjour,

Just want to ask why there is "le" in this sentence. It translates to english as we can if we want to, so why the le? 

Merci :)

"Un vraiment beau monument" is wrong, should read "un monument vraiment beau", yet I am led to believe that using a different subject "un très beau fille" is acceptable. If my example is correct can someone please explain. Thanks/Merci

I have a question about when subjects are going somewhere. Sometimes we use "à____". why is this different?

"on naviguerait jusqu'en Martinique "

Why jusqu'en?

Thanks

In this situation, how is the partitive used? Is it optional?  E.G.

C'est un bon gâteau. OR C'est de bon gâteau. OR  C'est du bon gâteau. ??

Merci d'avance .

It seems that you could use marcher or aller à pied for "you are supposed to walk in the sidewalk", depending on the context. 

You are supposed to walk ( as opposed to not ride your bike/roller skate/ etc) could take "aller à pied"...it seems to me.

In the first phrase you use encore for « still » and did not give toujours as an alternative.  Laura Lawless in the article on thèse words says “ When talking about something that still exists or is still happening, toujours is the better option.".   Why is toujours wrong here?

Hello,

Please I want to know verb like " mettre en valeur" , consists of three parts, I want to know the name of the family of such verb?

Best regards

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!
