Would the following also be a correct translation?
J’ai dû me résigner à appeler un taxi
as an alternative to: -
il a fallu que je me résigne à appeler un taxi
I came across these examples: 1)" L'hôtel est rue.."My understanding from this lesson is that 'est rue' can only be used with se promener.2) The 2nd question pertains to whether dans or sur can be used with location E.g." L'hôtel est sur la rue.../la place... Could you clarify please.
When using avoir as the auxilliary verb in the passe compose, I thought that the past participle had to agree with the direct object... so in the previous exercise there was:
"Nous avons nouri nos chiens" ...are not les chiens the direct object of the verb in that sentence?
"il a fini ses devoirs" ...are not les devoirs the direct object of that sentence...?
...I guess I have got something very wrong here... grateful for any guidance...

partitive article doesn't change with etre verb
Vous etes des menteurs
Vous n'etes pas des menteurs
Are these sentences correct or not?
Why does the example of manquer have this example: “Jacques a raté son train”?
No two ways about it, listening practice is everything. Took me a while to get my lug (ear to an English person) around this dictation but pleased with the results.
What does récompense mean, I for one thought it meant rewarding.
Can you explain when the verb s'installer can be used? Is it just an alternative for s'asseoir or does it have more meanings?
1. Instead of “une liste de ce que je voudrais faire là-bas”, could we say “une liste de ce que je voudrais y faire” (a list of what I would like to do over THERE) ?
2. Instead of “elles m’emmèneront dans des restos branchés”, could we say “elles m’emmèneront à des restos branchés” (they will take me TO trendy restaurants) ?
Appreciate any answers regarding whether my alternatives are possible or not. Thanks.
why is it J'habite A Paris but J'habite EN France and AUX Etats- unis? what is the difference ?
