Christmas in the mountains (B1)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
While attempting this challenge, I faced a few difficulties which I would like to ask here-
1.C’est un endroit magique au milieu des montagnes, mais ça manque de transports en commun !
In this phrase, why has “ça” been used ? We need to talk about the ‘châlet’ so can “il” not be used ?
2. D'abord, je prendrai l'avion jusqu'à la grande ville la plus proche, qui est ‘quand même à’ quarante kilomètres du châlet !
Madame, what is the usage of the expression-‘quand même à’ ?
This expression was used in this exercise to mean -still but what are its other uses ?
3. Mais je ne pourrai pas conduire jusqu'au châlet lui-même.
Why is lui-même used here, shouldn’t it be ‘moi-même’ ? As, in the sense of “ I wouldn’t be able to drive myself till the chalet’ ?
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide et réponse.
Joyeux Nöel à vous !
Is there a rule as to whether à or de follows a verb?
Wasn't sure which forum to ask this question as it relates to a different topic but this is the attached forum so I'll ask it here:
The statement and translation :
J’ai un cheveu blanc. – Non, tu as plusieurs cheveux blancs !
I have one white hair. – No, you have a few white hairs!
In this example the word ‘plusieurs’ was used to mean ‘a few’ but in the lesson “Quelques, plusieurs, de nombreux = A few, several, many (quantities), ‘plusieurs’ means several and quelques means ‘a few’. Is there a nuance in usage here?
It would be helpful to highlight where each audio begins. This makes it easier to coordinate hand eye, particularly the third one due screen and text location on web page.
Allez-vous commander la salade?
For this question if I have to give negative answer
Non je ne vais pas la commander or je ne la vais pas commader.
Which is correct? Ps elaborate
Why is it de l’argent which I thought meant some money. The lesson wrote: either money or a gift. So why was soit d’argent wrong? Thanks.

When do I use the à?
In the examples they used à and didn’t use à and they both mean he’s going to call his parents. So how do I know when I should use à?
In the above question the answer is cela,. Can it is alternatively written as " je le lui ai promis "
In this sentence can't we use des amis Why d'amis
