Message de vaiana posté le 19-07-2022 à 02:02:19 (S | E | F)
Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well
Could you help me with these translations please? Thanks.
1. Je devais aller chez mon médecin généraliste hier, mais malheureusement j’ai dû annuler mon rendez-vous.
I was meant to go to my doctor's yesterday but, unfortunately, I had to call my appointment off.
2. Je regrette de ne pas être resté vivre aux États-Unis... j’aurais pu y faire fortune. Quel dommage !
I regret that I didn't stay and live in the United States... I could have made a fortune there. What a shame!
3. Je n’ai pas l’intention de faire repeindre la maison cette année : je vais épargner encore un peu.
I don't intend to get the house repainted this year: I'm going to save up a little more.
4. Mes amis ont visité plusieurs pays anglophones, dont l’un a aussi le français comme langue officielle.
My friends have visited several English-speaking countries, one of whose official languages is also French.
In the last sentence, I'm not sure about the use of the construction 'one of whose', which is a tricky construction... need to be enlightened

Hello,
'I'm not sure about the use of the construction 'one of whose.'...whose is not correct here.
You have to find another word expressing what choice you have to do.

Hello Lucile,
on my topic! Why can't I use 'one of whose' in this case?

Hello
You have to find another word expressing what choice you have to do, and modify your sentence.
