Hello!! I would like to know if we could use both "dans l'après-midi" and 'l'après- midi" when we want to say, "in the afternoon." Also, in the morning in French, we don't use "dans" correct? The same for "in the evening"?? Merci beaucoup !!! I look forward to the answers.
In the sentence Ils ont vécu heureux pendant des nombreuses années, is heureux being used as an adverbe? Heureusement, the adverb, seems to mean luckily rather than happily. Is this so?
I feel like sometimes I've seen these used in an interchangeable manner (devoir and avoir à). What I told my students was that "devoir" also means "must", so "avoir à" needs to be used in situations where "must" doesn't fit (i.e. "You don't have to go yet." "Tu n'às pas encore à partir."). Is this correct? In what other situations do you need to use one over the other?
