French language Q&A Forum

Thanks.

Why is my answer the wrong way round??

I miss our Netflix and pizza nights!

I wrote = Je manque nos soirees Netflix et pizza.... 

but best answer places ... Nos soirees Netflix et pizza me manquent... at the beginning of the sentence and I don't understand and the grammar doesn't explain why!! HELP ME!!! Thanks guys

Does anyone else find an over use of the exclamation marks ? I don’t take off marks if I don’t put in as many as given in the answers. Is this a particular French thing? 

Maybe Vous haïssez la médiocrité as well

Strange, in the learn and discuss, they come out fine.

quick question: in French you say "ce sont NOS livres". Why is le pluriel of "le nôtre", written as "les nôtres" in this lesson?!

During the dictation, I have noticed that before I can give myself a grade, 1 thru 5, the bar goes to the next sentence thereby it seems as though I did not respond to the question, which deminishes my score

Hi - As Adrian mentioned, this is not enough to explain the change from de to du

Note that de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it (e.g. of the).

Although Chris has offered good explanations in this Q&A forum - it should be in the lesson itself - Can you please add the variation.

I know these lower level dictées are meant to be spoken slowly to suit beginners, but I find that with the over-enunciation, I often hear words that aren't there. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not?

For example:

-J'adore voyager

-C'est mon passe-temps favori

I hear :

-j'adore à voyager

-C'est mon passe au temps favori

In this text, the adverb "necessarily" in the sentence "I don't believe that it is necessarily a negative concept" is translated only as "necessairement", without "forcément" being one of the alternatives.  When would you use one adverb rather than the other?
