For the question: 'How could you say "Gregory is going away for the holidays.",' 3 answers are correct:
Gregory part durant les vacances.
Gregory part pendant les vacances.
Gregory part pour les vacances.
In the lesson it is explained that durant/pendant is only used "to express a duration with a clear beginning and end." Holiday doesn't have it, so shouldn't be 'pour' the only valid option?
bonjour,
wouldnt the phrase je vais skier translate to "im going to ski" and not I go skiing?
Wouldnt you say en hiver, je fait du skie or something like that?
merci!
One of my 'test recommended' questions was: Il prend toujours l’avion. - Non, il ________ l'avion
The answer given was: 'ne prend jamais' and my answer 'ne prend jamais de' was marked incorrect.
Why is there no 'de' in this case when the 'vous mangez de la viande' example on this page shows there is?
Why is 'enchanté de vous rencontrer' a commonly used french expression not listed among the correct options for 'Pleased to meet you' ?
Bonjour à tous,
I am not clear on when one uses payer vs payer pour and I haven't been able to find a good explanation anywhere. Hope you can help.
