As stated in the lesson if you are emphasizing something in the past "en train de" can be used. Therefore if you are emphasizing "Henri was having a nap when his boss came in "
"Henri était en train de faire une sieste ..." should be acceptable
I translated 'Mother's Day' as 'fête des Mères' which Kwiziq dinged as a mistake.
The 2013 Compact Oxford Hachette French Dictionary uses the translation 'fête des Mères' (p 719).
I read that there can be much variety in how such events are spelled.
Could it simply be that the spelling l used is not yet known by AI Kwiziq?
Thank you
This question was asked in a TV show I watched today: “…mais est-ce que lui voudra te voir?” My question is why is lui used instead of il?
The test I have just completed had 'on est passés' - but why the 's'? Surely 'on' is masculine and so there would is no need?
In the expression, apéritifs dinatoires, is a circumflex needed over the first -i in dînatoires?
Wow! Thank you for this lesson. It has been a subject that has been somewhat confusing to me and I really needed this. I will have to reread and practice though to increase my understanding, and to reinforce my confidence.
Could you help me find a reference to understanding the use of prepositions before infinitives (I understand prepositions after).
Also, I read the question as 'after months of wearing', but can à be used for the preposition 'of'?
Why can't I use "relâcher" here? As that verb means to relax a muscle?
Why was my answer marked wrong because I used tu instead of vous when there was no indicator either way.
Wouldn’t either choice be correct in a quiz?
I realize that in speech there is always a reason for choosing tu versus vous.
Thank you
