Just wondering why the passé composé is used in this phrase. Thanks for your response.
Où se trouve ce pont magnifique?
The recommended translation reads 'au sein de sa famille ou au sein de sa communauté'. Why is the long prepositional phrase repeated? Could you not say 'au sein de sa famille ou de sa communauté'?
What is the significance of the numbers (a date?) at the end?
Hated this one...... Why. Nothing more to add
In some cases, I chose other words which were not accepted. In particular, 'valide' instead of 'valable', 'choix' instead of 'options', and 'avoir l'intention de' instead of 'prévoir'. In the context, were these incorrect, not the best choice, or just synonymes? Thanks for all of your help. The question and answer section is quite beneficial!
It says:
You use à when describing going to or being in a city.
And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
So then how do you decide if you want to express being in a city since you use both de and à?
