Questions & Answers about Nous allons décorer ces chambres demain.
Why do we use allons décorer instead of a single future tense verb?
Nous allons décorer uses the near future tense (futur proche). It is formed with the present tense of aller (to go) plus the infinitive verb décorer. It translates exactly to "We are going to decorate" and is the most common way to talk about upcoming plans in everyday French.
Does ces mean "these" or "those"?
It can mean both! Ces is the plural word for pointing at things, used for both masculine and feminine nouns. French doesn't usually distinguish between "these" (close by) and "those" (further away). If you really needed to specify "these bedrooms here" versus "those bedrooms over there," you would add -ci or -là to the noun, like ces chambres-ci.
Could I use pièces instead of chambres here?
How would I use chez with this sentence if I wanted to say "We are going to decorate at Paul's house"?
