The corrections recommend that these adjectives appear before the word "beffroi." Same situation with "épaisse muraille." Why?
Is it safe to say that with "an(s)" all of the numbers 1-10 are elisions except for quatre, cinq and neuf?
Why is "La carte vous donne aussi" correct and not "vous donnez"?
For the term, change of scenery, the exercise used, "le dépaysement" with un changement de décor used as alternative. I was wondering just what the distinction or nuance in the 2 terms is. Please explain when you would use one over the other. Thanks.
Elsewhere on the site, there is an example sentence: Ils sucent encore leur pouce. They're still sucking their thumbs. Why doesn't leur pouce become le/la/les pouce(s)?
I'm curious about the adjective placement in "fervent défenseur." Would it be equally correct to say "un défenseur fervent" as a way to start this sentence?
Am I missing something? Why are there no "practice" exercises? My style of learning involves some practice of the chosen subject - sometimes LOTS of practice. As far as I can tell, you provide no practice exercises. I often have to search my other French books for appropriate practice.
I am just getting to learn the French language and I find it pretty difficult.Please why is this so? Thank you.
I understand that in the expression "brand new" you use neuf rather than nouveau, but otherwise when would you use neuf rather than nouveau - or are they equivalent?
