French language Q&A Forum

I was always taught (from textbooks, profs, etc) to use "en" with French countries/states/provinces that end in -e or start with a vowel sound and are singular. "Aux" with plural names, and au for the rest--with the exception of Mexique which uses "au" though it ends in -e. Oh, and à with cities. 

Is this "dans le" thing a change in how the language is done or a regional peculiarity or what?

You have these two examples:

 Ne la lui écris pas!  (Don't write it to her!)

Ne me le donne pas! (Don't give it to me!)

I see the underline under me le but I don't know how to interpret it.  In the first example you have direct object (la) then indirect object (lui).  In the second example the reverse: indirect object (me) then direct object (le).  Is there a rule here that I'm missing?

Thank you

Bonjour Madame !

A sentence reads -

C’est un homme courageux. Oui-c’est une femme courageuse.

He is a courageous man. Yes-it is a courageous woman. 

Should it not be ‘she is’ ? Thanks for your feedback !

Bonne journée !

"Je voudrais un coca ... "by the male "Voudrais" sounds different from the female in "Bonjour, je voudrais un coca... "Is it a regional accent?

Prison seems like a pretty specific place... so why 'en' instead of 'dans la'?

One of the sentences was:  Je courrai jusqu'à chez moi.

I know it doesn't relate to the future, but why use jusqu'à ?

Thanks!
