Le C1 challenge était presque impossible cette semaine. Juste quand j'ai pensé que je connais un peu de français, vous avez retourné mon monde. J'ai beaucoup d'étudier. Merci mille fois, Don

Bonjour Donald !
Je suis contente que vous appréciez les challenges. J'espère que le challenge C1 de cette semaine n'était pas trop décourageant, mais vous connaissez l'expression "C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron" :)
Bonne pratique !
I know fatigue, but not fatigant. The word stressant was used. Both have -ant at the end of the word. What is the rule for converting fatigue to fatigant and is fatigue a verb and what kind of word is fatigant (adjective?) I'm looking for a rule and a pattern. Thanks in advance!
Bonjour Sandra,
Fatigant, like stressant, is a present participle (from the verb fatiguer). In this case, they are adjectives, but present participles can also be nouns, verbs, and gerunds. Please take a look at https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/present-participle/ for more info on conjugating and using them.
As an idea for topics could you pose writing challenges based on the reading & listening articles that you send out, it would help me reinforce what I learn by reading & listening with what I write and vice versa.
Bonjour Mike !
That's an excellent idea, I will definitely use it in the next challenges :)
Bonne journée !
