Scratching my head as usual on this subject. This time concerning "et j'ai joué de moins en moins". Since I was doing this (playing) less and less, surely that means I was continuing to do it in the past, if I'd only done it once as a completed action, I ipso facto couldn't have been doing it "less and less"! - hence, I thought, "Je jouais de moins en moins". Why is it Passé composé? (Will I EVER get my head round this particular issue: it's always the thing that trips me up!)
I am just wondering why 's'envolait' (a one-0ff event), when above this sentence you had written 'Il a travaillé extrêmement dur', which would have been over a much longer time period.
It says standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine.. what if the word is feminine, does it just not work ?? like c'est belle? or c'est fantastique??
Merci, j'ai apprécié. Ce qui pourrait être amusant, c'est d'avoir un exercice d'écoute où l'on fait un dessin à partir d'instructions vocales !
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?
Direct speech : Ma mère m'a demandé "Qui est-ce avec toi?"
Indirect speech : a. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c'est avec moi.
b. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c’était avec moi.
I would be grateful if anyone can say a or b, which one is right, or any other is possible for this. Thanks in advance.
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.

Can both énorme and ensuite be added ?
Dans le texte vous avez «les poèmes qui sont présentés» mais dans le fichier audio «les poètes qui sont présentés». De plus, le paragraphe 4, ligne 4, répète la ligne 3 dans une simple erreur de frappe ou de copier-coller.
Bonjour,
I was wondering what do you mean by component adjectives? I see electric cable a wild animal etc but I am unsure why they are component.
Merci
