Why is there no "une" before "salle de bains" in this sentence: "Oui, une chambre double avec salle de bains privative."
Why is it "de jolies cartes romantiques " and not " des jolies cartes romantiques "? It seems like it should be parallel with "des boites" and "des bijoux". Thanks.
This was asked 4 years ago and never answered.
"This apple is good. Yes, it is good." is the stated English translation.
Had the English translation been "Yes, THEY are good", then "c'est bon" may be correct.
But, as stated, since IT is specific and refers to THIS APPLE, the French should be "Oui, elle est bonne."
Bonjour! I have two questions related to the first sentence of this exercise. Firstly, why does the first part of the sentence translate to 'Lille is less than two hours away by train' when the original sentence to translate was 'Lille is less than a couple hours away' (i.e. no specific duration). Additionally, why do we use 'ce qui en fait' instead of 'ce que le fait'? Merci beaucoup!
Why can't we say retournerons chez nous?
I was doing an Alevel french translation and encountered this. I could guess the meaning ‘24 free services are offered’ but I don’t get why the word order is like this.
Sont proposés 24 services gratuits, dont la recharge du téléphone et une coupe de cheveux.In two places in this exercise the adjective precedes the noun. I don't understand why. Can someone explain? The situations were "L'imposant animal" and "riches plantations." Thanks.
I would think that this would follow the rule of feminine place names getting en, but I keep hearing people say « dans la Nouvelle-Écosse » instead of « en Nouvelle-Écosse » like I would expect
