Chapitre 16 - On a eu chaud !

COFFEE BREAK LANGUAGES
About this episode
We're back with a brand new episode of La Vérité éclate toujours! As James, Yvette and Claire arrive in Zurich, Claire suggests they visit the bank in an attempt to look for clues in her ex-husband’s safety-deposit box. Everything is going smoothly as Claire succeeds in accessing the box, when all of a sudden she starts to panic and quickly leaves the bank. What went wrong? Find out in Chapter 16! We hear many examples of the following relative pronouns: dans laquelle, sur lequel, que and qui, as well as an example of the ne explétif in a comparative structure.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
