I don't understand when to use these two "en" and "le/la". For example:
La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.
I know that "en" refers to La liberté d'expression, but why can't we use "la"?
Pourquoi on dit 'dans sa gourde' ?
Johnny
I don't think the problem is my computer but many of the sections here would not play sound
La jupe de claire, c'est ......
A- chère
B- cher
This is a phone call, correct? Why was my word Allo (with accent on the A)marked incorrect in the first line?
Please confirm are these Adverbial Affirmative Imperatives correct?
- Donne-lui-en! [Give him some!]
- Emmenez-m’y! [Take me there!]
- Emmenez-nous-y! [Take us there!]
- Amuse-t’y! / Amusez-t'y! [Have fun there!]
The first two sentences have similar structure, a salutation followed by a question or a declaration. However, the first uses an exclamation followed by a question; whereas, the second uses a comma after the salutation and then continues making it all one sentence, If you use the first sentence's pattern, i.e. using an exclamation instead of a comma, this is marked wrong. Please explain, as this is a recurring issue.. Thanks
The very first example given of when to use "c'est" is:
"C'est une jolie robe."
This clearly refers to a specific dress.
But then we are told that the answer to "Tu aimes mon pull?" should be "Oui, il est très beau."
Why is the rule for a specifc dress different than the rule for a specific sweater? Is it that "il/elle est" should be used when answering a question about a specific thing but that "c'est" can be used otherwise?
