Bonjour!
I noticed that in the sentence une femme heureuse at des femmes heureuses that the es was not underline like the others were.
I was hoping if you could fix that and underline the es so it could help the reader whose reading it understand it better. It was 2x on the same page.

Can "se passer" be used with dates? Like, "Quand se passe le jour de la Bastille" or "Noel se passe le 25 décembre".
Merci d'avance!
I struck a problem with moitie/demi- not a problem with French, but with the English sentence in the exercise. If an English speaker says "I ate half a chicken", it is not possible for an English-speaking person to be certain what the English speaker means. It could mean EITHER he consumed 50% of a chicken OR that he bought half a chicken and ate it all. My point is, that one cannot divine the English speaker's meaning without more information. It follows, in this case, that a test question that demands a choice made between moitie or demi cannot be incorrect. Here, I think, the subtlety (or the casualness) of English speech has not been understood.
“Un bon moyen de mettre la finance au service d'un projet de société alternatif.”

Is the adjective “alternatif” in the masculine form because it’s linked with the masculine noun “projet”? Is there a chance that it should be linked with the female noun “société” and therefore be “alternative”, or is it obvious to French speakers that this would not be the case?
Thanks, Brian
Please can you explain this lesson. Even the examples don't seem to fit the explanation
Penser que + indicative ne pas
Penser que + subjunctive
????
In this sentence "s'adressa à elle d'une voix languide" can it please be explained why the "De" in "D'une" is present?
And what is the difference between "Du moins" and "Au moins" ?
And in this sentence - "J'ai bien peur de ne pas pouvoir m'expliquer" why is "bien" necessary/needed?
Thank you!
This could be interpreted as "Did you clean it LIKE I had asked you?" The question is ambiguous.
Bonjour — do you not use the liaison after “vais”? Is it optional or forbidden? Merci.
I searched ‘Dix-neuf heures et demie’ on Google, and they said you can say it, but it is the informal way. Can you tell me why it still can be used, but it was not accepted as a correct answer? Thanks so much for your understanding.
