Why is it not leurs médailles when there is more than one medal?
Hello,
The lesson states the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses should be used with il faut, and notre/nos / votre/vos are never used.
In the quiz, "Il faut faire nos valises immédiatement." was listed as a correct answer to the question "How could you say "We must pack immediately." ?".
Shouldn't it be "Il faut faire ses valises immédiatement"?
In regards to the last section about food, when do you use 'À/Aux' compared to when you should use 'De'?
Is it a rule that être + adjective is always followed by the preposition de? Or can it be followed by à sometimes?
Pourquoi est-ce qu'on ne peux pas dire "C'est quoi qui" au lieu de "Qu'est-ce qui"?
I'm not understanding why, in French, when someone is learning something, it is stated as "apprendre à" and not just "apprendre".
For instance: She learns to dance. - Elle apprend à danser.
Given that the unconjugated verb danser literally means "to dance", why do we need to insert à (to) again?
Tangentially, does the verb apprendre ALWAYS take the preposition à? If not, can you give me an example where it wouldn't (and maybe explain why it wouldn't in that situation)?
Thanks!
I thought it is depuis...je suis (not past).
Or is it a difference between:
Since then, I have been following her career
Vs
I have since been following her career.
Does not the 2024 Tour de France end in Nice (because of the Olympics in Paris)?
I find the questions which ask things like "If I say "Tu es français.", who am I speaking to: Lucie or Hugo?" quite frustrating, because the gendering of names isn't fixed. According to https://madame.lefigaro.fr/prenoms/prenom/garcon/lucie, Lucie, whilst predominantely feminine, has been a mixed name for over a century.
It might be helpful to add a hint to these kinds of questions that says "Hugo is male, Lucie is female".do you have a way one can practice with headphones while walking .. hands free
