: Je joue au foot depuis 2001.
Just curious...
Are there realistic examples with verb-y-en?
Is it valid (or possible) to have three pronouns in a row?
Pourquoi elle trouve Andrew charmant ? Pourquoi pas elle trouve qu'Andrew est charmant ?
Is it as simple as little bits of chocolate?
I have checked with 3 different dictionaries i.e. Le Robert de Poche, Harrap’s Shorter French and English dictionary and Wordreference online. Each one defines ski boot as “après-ski” as opposed to “botte de neige” .
Which is the correct response?
I’m still struggling with the issue Adrienne raised. I get the “correct answer” but the Gruff says that it’s the option with only two que can only be used without a specific noun. But the example in the lesson clearly says Qu’est-ce que c’est un stylo is acceptable. I also got marked wrong on the baguette question.
For those interested (and who couldn't find the word "tramontagne" anywhere), here is a definition for a similarly spelled word that I found : "La tramontane est un vent violent, froid (en température ressentie) et sec en provenance du nord-ouest qui souffle contre les Pyrénées et au sud du Massif central, puis dans le Languedoc et le Roussillon. ... Le terme de « tramontane » vient du latin transmontanus qui signifie « au-delà des monts »". So it's similar to the Mistral wind (also mentioned in the same sentence in the exercise), with the Mistral being maybe a bit more localised and severe.
In this exercise, can we substitute the preposition “à” for “dans” in any or all of these sentences:
1. Nous irions ensemble dans des galeries d’art (ou à des galeries d’art) ?
2. Nous pourrions manger dans un bon bistrot (ou à un bon bistrot) ?
3. Je l’emmènerais dans un charmant petit parc (ou à un charmant petit parc) ?
I put “à” for (1) and (3) and wondered if it was acceptable alternative, similar to saying “on va au cinéma” ou “à la boulangerie”.
