Hi,
In this lesson, we use Elle est à New York to say She is in New York
But in another lesson, we use J'habite dans le New Jersey to say I live in New Jersey
Now I am a bit confused about the use of dans le and à with cities. Help!
What does this sentence mean, "Elle a posé toutes ses lettres au tour d'après"?
Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect? I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!
Is the phrase 'Qui que ce soit' followed by the subjunctive?
Is the word “alors” necessary in the “a alors demandé Martine”?
'Si vous regardez derrière moi, sur l'ancien mur de la ville..'. Does this mean the 'former' wall or the 'ancient' wall?
The English text said, 'If you look behind me, on the ancient wall of the city'. But when ancien means 'ancient' doesn't it go after the noun?
The audio for WC sounds like “VC” instead of “double VC”. Is this an error, or is it in fact how it is said in that context in France?
"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi" Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?
Can you also have "Je n'ai pas du tout été surprise"?
I translated this as 'continue à inspirer'
Could you explain when to use 'continuer de' and when to use 'continuer à'?
Merci
