To the desert? At the desert?
Of course, these prepositions do NOT even come close to translating directly. I took a stab with "dans" and was correct, but you just have to learn the contexts in which you use each. I would say, "I live in Québec," but it is not "dans," but instead, "J'habite au Québec."
Why is "c'est chaud" incorrect for the "it is hot" part - they say that "il fait chaud" is the right answer. What am I missing?
French idiom. They don't say "it is hot", instead they say "it makes hot".
Can anyone help me plz I put " au" instead of dans le Why it's incorrect Thanks
Au desert should be acceptable to if you go by the following.

Use à and its contractions for unspecific or vague locations.
<pre>On vit à la campagne. — We live in the country.
C'est dangereux à la frontière. — It's dangerous at the frontier.
</pre>
What's the difference between dans le désert, il fait chaud and Il fait chaud dans le désert? The order of factors doesn't alter the product, isn't it?
