Why does 'I love to dance' translate as J'aime beaucoup',  whereas 'I love to shine' is simply 'J'aime'? How do we know when the speaker really likes something when its only implied? I have seen the unspoken 'beaucoup' in other exersizes as well.

«Dont + possession» replaces «possession + de». The 'possession' is named in both expressions, it is just found in a different position. It is placed directly before de or found directly or indirectly after dont. 

Bonjour, est-ce qu'on dirait:

Elle est à New York. (pour la ville) 

Elle est en New York. (pour l'état)

Merci!

So there were 2 questions, and this is how it went,

Le treize mars= the 13th March

Le quatorze juin= the 14th of June

And it told me that "the 13th of March" is incorrect. Is there a specific reason for that? Cause it seems like Le treize mars and Le quatorze juin have the same build..

It says here that 'my nose is small but their noses are big' is translated to 'Mon nez est petit, mais leurs nez sont gros' . Is there a certain reason why it is "gros" isntead of "grand" ? Or is it just an optional thing?

-"Une fille se promène avec des filles"

-"Une fille marche avec des filles"

Is there a difference?

According to Wordreference - a secondary school teacher in France - collège ou lycée is enseignant/enseignante - a professeur is one that teaches at university as well. In this Writing Challenge you used professeur.

When I enter "I think about her" into google translate, it tells me the correct translation is "Je pense à elle"

Why would it not be "Je lui pense" ? Is 'she' not the indirect pronoun with this verb?

Is it only when 'à' translates to 'to' rather than 'about'?

Thanks

Will the un change to d' in the negative form?
