Why does this translate to my garagec is small wouldn't that be mon garage est petit?
Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?
This is confusing me... in English three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?
idioms confound me ... "on the edge" of town is different than of a cliff ... what is the idiom for "on the edge of my seat" or almost being driven crazy as saying "he's really on edge" ? maybe an "edgy" lesson?
I was wondering why it wasn't Vous a-t-il appelée - because Emma is feminine ?
The lesson implies that "vieux" and "ancien" follow the same usage rules as "neuf" and "nouveau", i.e. objective and subjective, respectively. But according to the lesson on Movable Adjectives, in the case of "ancien" at least, it is the placement of the adjective before or after the noun that determines whether it is translated subjectively or objectively.
Which lesson is correct?
