I would say that the sentence 'The boy returns to the kitchen' and 'The boy goes back to the kitchen' mean the same and are both correct.
hum... is there any difference in the preposition if the person was already in there? For example: 1) We were in the living room, and the boy went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Then he "retourne" from there. 2) he was in the kitchen, and he "retourne" there again. Got it?
Okkkk..thx. je crois que je peux comprendre maintenant. J'aime le français... je pense que je vais prendre des "lessons"
le garçon peut : retourner ou revenir dans, vers ou bien plus populairement à la cuisine mais le but c'est la traduction portugaise qui a de l'intérêt ici.j'ai cru comprendre que ' voltar ' correspond plus à 'revenir'. en français il y a l'expression " faire volte face " qui signifie se retourner ou bien changer d'avis.
I don't really understand the use of the word "para" here. Is it frequently used after the verb 'voltar'
Yes. Voltar + para + some place / somewhere. But there are some expressions we don't follow this rule, for instance, "venha aqui".
When I wrote kitchen, I was marked as wrong, cozinha was translated as farm?!
