Well this was pretty disheartening. It would have been good to know in advance that correct punctuation and capitals were essential to get a sentence perfect!
How can you differentiate the story from history ie. l’histoire. was marked as incorrect but I think it could have been either
Plus nous sommes généreux, plus les gens nous le rendront. (Plus modifies the verb)
Plus généreux nous sommes, plus les gens nous le rendront. (Plus modifies the adj.+verb).
The more generous we are, the more people will give back to us.
Plus il est un homme riche, plus je suis un homme pauvre. (plus modifies the verbs)
Plus riche un homme il est, plus pauvre un homme je suis. (plus modifies the adjs.)
(My humble thought; the second sentences are okay with me. yes/no? Explanation)
(The second sentences are similar to American) Thanks
Just dropping a comment. Why is the audio quality worse than the others ?
Why is "I had to read a poem" given the imperfect here? The lesson flagged under the answer (Using "devoir" in the imperfect tense versus the compound past in French (L'Imparfait vs Le Passé Composé)) suggests it should be passé composé, since it refers to an obligation that was completed.
How are these graded? My answers were mostly correct, maybe just getting the punctuation wrong or a few minor mistakes here and there. But it says I got 0 out of 60. Is it looking for letter-by-letter accuracy, including punctuation?
Hello,
Why do we use etait allée below instead of est allée?
ex. Il a laissé sa voiture au garage après qu'elle était allée à la banque.
There was a question:
Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu es parti. (correct answer as per quiz)
Should it be "Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu etais parti?
I found that in ce. it stress on u a bit more. especially ce sont. it sounds like suh sont.
Pourquoi est-ce que de utilise dans cette phrase--de lui parler--et pas à? Parler à lui ou parler de lui?
The translation is ' tu soit prete', what would it be if you were translating ' By the time you are ready, ' ? I thought ' you were ready' would be in the subjunctive passe?
