"You can pour the soup into a bigger dish."

Translation: Tu peux verser la soupe dans un plat plus grand.

[Sucy-en-Brie94]

Tu peux verser la soupe dans un plus grand plat. Accepted :)

[Geoffrey878583]

Wouldn't that be a "bol"? Can you clarify distinction between "plat" and "assiette" (which is the word I used, and was marked wrong).

[Fitniac]

I think plat is the container for the entire dish and assiette is the container for an individual portion.

[BarbaraSti2]

Assiette is a plate

[BarbaraSti2]

One general rule is the S is pronounced when it has a positive meaning, (j'en veux plus) and not when it has a negative meaning "je n'en veux plus"
Je is a detailed lesson on it...

Why does grand go after the noun here?

[Lucien660983]

Because of "plus", but it could also be before : "un plus grand plat".

[stacy407443]

That was marked incorrect, though.

[Lucien660983]

Well, it should not have been, in my opinion.

[afbrowns]

Is the s in plus supposed to be pronounced?

[Lucien660983]

Not here

[Jos225063]

Yea, why not assiette? ??

[P.K.Mallory]

une assiette is a plate -- it would be too flat to hold much soup.

[lilian68325]

do the French not use potage for soup?

[DOette]

I never thought plat was a container but a dish as in a prepared food?
