I've been learning French for a year and a half, and I'm about to start learning Italian! Besides languages I have lots of interests including literature, poetry, nature and environment, playing classical piano, gardening, healthy cooking, and travelling. Get in touch!

    "I must have" vs "I had to" in French I have seen both of these translated as: "J''ai dû..." But how would you differentiate between the two in the following example: I had to eat a fly... vs I must have eaten a fly... ? Thanks in advance.

    TO LET means that you can rent it (eg. you pay the owner £500 a month to use the space). 'To start up on their own' - they mean start up a restaurant business, which is implied by the fact that it's a restaurant. They may have meant 'ideal' instead of 'idea'. That would make more sense. ie. 'This would be ideal for an experienced person looking to start up on their own'.

    'To prevent' - Specifically, to try and stop something from happening BEFORE it has happened. eg. 'Keep chemicals in a safe place to prevent accidents' or 'Use a condom to prevent unwanted pregnancy'! 'To avoid' - More generally means to try and stay away from something/someone/or a situation. eg. 'You should avoid that man', or 'After having an operation on your nose, you should avoid catching a cold'.

    It's saying that it is easy for males to spend a lifetime pursuing certain goals that don't matter very much (aren't very important). As for 'In the light of better judgement': Light is often used as a metaphor for understanding/realisation/clarity of mind. So it's suggesting that, with better judgement, they wouldn't spend their lives pursuing these goals. Hope that makes sense.

    Holidays

    To begin with, last year I went to Cazorla. Cazorla is a national forest in Jaén. It is situated in the south of Spain. In this the national park there are rivers, trees, etc. Also, There are also lynxes but only in this that area of Spain.

    This year I would like to go to the beach but I don't want to sunbathe because I have the sensitive skin.

    Málaga would be a good option. There, I could see museums and monuments such as the Picasso ´s Museum and the Thysen´s museum. I would go to museums in the morning and in the evening I would go to the beach. At this hour the moment it is not hot. If I buy the bus tickets now for the bus on the website now (or 'soon'), I will save money.

    To sum up: I will have a great time.
