"Je vais commonder des pates" is given as the correct answer. Des is used with countable nouns. Pasta is countable?? I suppose in theory it is, but in practice it is not.
I want more same questions to practice my vocabulary.
In the sentence 'Normalement, j'attendrais patiemment votre prochaine livraison, mais j'en ai besoin etc' I answered ...... mais je l'ai besoin..etc' The lesson on the use of 'en' says, 'Notice that 'en' as a pronoun can replace phrases introduced by the preposition de + [thing]/[object]/[location]. In the excercise, there is no 'de', so why 'en'?
Je vais aller à l'épicerie. - this was marked wrong because the answer should be without aller, but is it grammartically wrong or just not what the answer asking for?
il n'y a pas de meilleure saint Valentin
In this sentence - 'William Jones déclarait au sujet de cette langue ancestrale : "La langue sanscrite...' - why is the imperfect used with an action that happened only once, and on a specified date ?
Wouldn't on y va also be translated as let's go?
'Mon frère qui habite en France.' I would assume it's wrong to use 'à qui' or 'auquel' in this context, but I don't know why? When is it most suitable to use 'qui'?
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
I used énorme for huge and it got the redline with only 'immense' indicated as correct: a response here from Cécile some time ago stated she used 'énorme' when running through the exercise also.
I frequently come across responses where it would seem either ensuite or puis can be used, but mostly only one is accepted, and I always seem to choose the "unaccepted" word ! (That is why my gambling is limited) Again, a previous response from Cécile in another exercise indicated they are essentially interchangeable, as Larousse also indicates.
