This was a fun exercise. I really enjoyed learning about la montee des marches and seeing the beautiful photographs of Cannes while researching the vocabulary.
My question refers to the "hotel de luxe". Since the "stars" are plural wouldn't one assume that they leave their "luxury hotels", (plural)? Which would be: "leurs hotels de luxe" ? Or, is the possessive here always expressed in the singular, "leur hotel de luxe"?
Another question is about the use of the present tense in "j'admire". Would it be incorrect to say, "...que j'admirais depuis toujours"
Merci beaucoup !!
Vraiment?
The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.
Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?
I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').
I wrote
Nous nous rencontrons
instead of 'nous nous rejoignons / nous nous retrouvons
is it fine?
merci
How to make sure your translations are correct in English to French
Referencing the lesson: 'Using le, la, l', les before nouns when generalising (definite articles)' why is 'Salut les filles' correct as 'les filles' refers to a specific group and not to a group in general. Thank you
Does envoyer a (with accent) take lui or leur instead of le, la or les? Thank you!!
Merci beaucoup, vous m'avez donné beaucoup de plaisir avec cet exercice - j'ai regardé quelques de ses vidéos sur YouTube (surtout celles avec des sous-titres, dont il n'y en a pas beaucoup). Je me pleurais de rire, aussi.
Direct speech : Ma mère m'a demandé "Qui est-ce avec toi?"
Indirect speech : a. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c'est avec moi.
b. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c’était avec moi.
I would be grateful if anyone can say a or b, which one is right, or any other is possible for this. Thanks in advance.
