- A noter que l'on se sert de moins en moins de "auprès de" à l'oral. Il sert principalement quand on a besoin d'aide ou de réconfort. Même si l'on traduit en général en anglais "auprès de" de la même manière que "près de", ces mots sont rarements interchangeables. ex: "Je suis allé au restau près du bureau". "Elle est allée chercher du réconfort auprès de son ex".0 votedJuly 31, 20161
- possible = qui peut arriver (peut être rare). probable = qui a de grandes chances d'arriver. Je ne suis pas d'accord avec votre explication pour le subjonctif. Il indique une action subjective (quelque chose de pas sûr, pas forcément une possibilité, par exemple une action qui n'est pas encore arrivée). ex: - elle lui a fermé la porte au nez, de peur qu'il ne l'agresse (subjonctif; le "ne" n'est pas une négation ici, c'est un "ne explétif") - il partira après qu'elle est venue (=indicatif. Il sonne de manière très bizarre ici : à éviter, même si grammaticalement c'est correct. On entend souvent le subjonctif, mais il est incorrect) - elle est venue avant qu'il parte (=subjonctif; avant que-> subjonctif, car la suite n'est pas encore arrivée; après que-> indicatif)0 votedJuly 17, 20161
Hi! I can help you with your French if you want. My daughter Nathalie needs to learn Spanish at school. She is supposed to know a bit about it because has studied it for two years, but recently she didn't do anything at school so her marks are very very low. She can understand English and Mandarin Chinese.
Sincerely yours,
Joël Vibert

In Paris area:
- le Louvre
- Notre-Dame
- la tour Eiffel
- le château de Versailles. It's huge!
- le château de Chantilly
- le musée Albert Kahn
in other areas:
- le château de Chambord (2 hours away from Paris)
- Saint Malo, Mont-Saint Michel (sea-side)
- Chamonix (mountains, in the Alps)
- Cannes, Nice (sea-side, in the south of France)
If you only have 5 days, you can probably forget about the last two ones. These are beautiful places, but very far from Paris (about 1000 km away).
Sincerely,
Joël Vibert

I learn English to make one of my dreams come true. I do not tell you what it is exactly, because I believe that if someone knows your dream (even if he or she is your best friend), it will never become reality. So please help me to improve my English language skills =)0 votedNovember 17, 20100- "同事" is more like "colleague". Anyway the word should be chosen according to the context. For classmates you would use "同学". It's logical: people who do business together with us, people who study together with us. Words often don't match exactly... There are often several chinese characters that correspond to one of our words, even for words that correspond to concrete objects or well-defined notions. For instance, a polygon is either "a shape with many sides" or a "shape with many angles". Then you choose the word according to what you want to insist on.0 votedNovember 17, 20100
- I think this expression is derived from French. "J'ai payé mon dû" = "I've paid for what I owed". "Dû" is the past participle of "devoir" (must/owe). But the meaning has evolved a bit. When you've paid for everything, you have some rights... French used to be spoken in England a long time ago, and English has borrowed many words from French. Handkerchief for instance is derived from "couvre-chef", which means "hat" in old French. It became "kerchief", and, in the end, "handkerchief". The small hat that people used to wave to say bye bye naturally became a handkerchief.0 votedNovember 17, 20101
