Quel est le différence entre "Peux-tu passer au supermarché ?" et "Peux-tu passer par au supermarché ?" "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to."shows "Peux-tu passer au supermarché ?" but QuizIQ gave me "Peux-tu passer par au supermarché ?" in the exercise.
I thought "passer par" meant something more like "drop by" than "pass by" Is this more just a matter of style & formality than anything else?
Jeffrey,
there is no ‘ passer par au supermarché ‘.
According to the below copy and paste, the lesson doesn’t give that wording as an option
“ Can you pass by the supermarket?
Kwizbot's answer:
Peux-tu passer au supermarché ?
OTHER POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
Est-ce que tu peux passer au supermarché ?
Tu peux passer par le supermarché ?
Est-ce que tu peux faire un saut au supermarché ?
Peux-tu t'arrêter au supermarché ? “
Either ‘ passer par le supermarché’ or ‘ passer au supermarché ’ are colloquial and correct expressions in this context.
There are also multiple ways this idea can be expressed in English, and from some past questions, it seems there are regional differences in the typical English expression used.
