In the example when it says il pense à elle and it means he’s thinking of her. But in another example it says je parle de lui which means I speak of him. So de and à both mean of in these examples so I will as wondering when I would use à and when I would use de.

In this sentence "Nous sommes décidés" is passé composé right?

If so, why do we use this combination of être and décider?

I don't understand how we can just use être and passé composé like this.

Suggestions please, for the best way to find the vocabulary given at the start of each writing exercise and dictée. I use the WordReference app and the unabridged Collins Robert dictionary, but frequently find that phrases in particular are difficult or impossible to find, which makes the vocab list unhelpful. Thanks.

In the sentence: À qui sont ces balles ? ________ les miennes. Why can't I say 'ce sont les miennes'?

Why is 'enchanté de vous rencontrer' a commonly used french expression not listed among the correct options for 'Pleased to meet you' ?

Il va au Havre.= He's going to Le Havre. The place name start with 'h" so as per the rule infront of vowel or h we will use l'

But here it is à + le = au

The wording in the article implies that this rule only applies to plural nouns/adjectives, but the title does not state that. Could "plural" be added to the title as well to match?

Bonjour,

Could one also say "On a volé mon sac"

I think i've seen it expressed that way somewhere.

Merci.
