Does a mother give baisers or bisous to her children? When is each of those words used.
why do we use "lui" here in the sentence?
I listened to the video for this construction (the first video), and it sounds to me like the speaker uses liaison for every person except the 2nd person singular (tu serais aller). Do you know what rule he is following, if there is one? I have to admit, it sounds better to NOT use liaison in that particular case.
Underground galleries is translated as galleries souterraines
- a check of the french spelling shows only one 'l' in galerie.
in this expression: Ça vous va
Why we use va with vous, isn't it should be allez with vous?
"Hi, "Les étudiants ont été accueillis par le directeur ce matin." Why not:- "Les étudiants étaient accueillis par le directeur ce matin." I've been pondering why the first is correct but the second verb construction isn't. I realise the Kwiziq sentence is presented in a passive voice but it seems to me to be saying "they had been welcomes by the director this morning" rather than "were welcomes". Any guidance gratefully accepted, Edward"
In the first sentence of the text - Did you know that the town council [US: city hall] has decided.... etc., the Hint advises ...- "has decided" = Use Le Plus-que-Parfait here.
In the related lesson, the examples show 'had' and not 'has' as being translated using the plus-que-parfait?
This lesson is on the A2 listening practice list but is shown as a B2 level exercise. Either it's mislabeled or it's in the wrong place. The 5th lesson below this one (Dispute entre frère et sœur) has no level designation in the title, and the 2nd lesson under that one (En gardant mes neveux) is labeled as a B1 level exercise.
I also checked the A1 listening practice list and there are several lessons on that list that have no level designation.
This seems more like a content issue than a Help Desk problem.
