Can pendre be used instead of accrocher?
What do you mean by "question word"? eg. (question word) + noun + reflexive pronoun + auxiliary verb + pronoun + past participle,
The title of this exercise is "En segway dans le parc", but I was wondering why it was not "À segway dans le parc", as I understood "en" is used with forms of transport we get inside like en train, en bus, en voiture, en kayak and en avion; but "à" is usually used for forms of transport that we ride or walk without physically entering first e.g. à pied, à vélo, à moto and à cheval; and I thought segways would logically fit into the latter category?
I thought the future tense should be used after quand or lorsque. So, shouldn't this phrase be, lorsqu'on visitera un nouveau lieu.
I am a little unclear as to what the definition of Indirect Speech is especially as it applies to the examples given in the lesson and in the use of verbs such as, 'se demander' and 'savoir'.
How is this Indirect Speech:
Je me demande si tu viens ou pas. ?
What I do understand is that in cases where 'whether = if', then 'si + Mode Indicatif' is applied.
The way I usually work it out in my mind is if the sentence is expressing the idea of 'regardless of which' or 'whether or not' than 'Que + Le Subjunctif' is used.
In the noted exercise, the first sentence sounds like, "Cette année, on a DE la chance qu' ", but is written, " Cette année, on a la chance qu' ". Which is correct?
I am confused about the difference between c'est and il y a. I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that il y a was used for general things (il y a un tour), but c'est used for specific things (c'est le tour Eiffel). Where am I going wrong?
