is it possible for me to repeat this test? I pressed the wrong buttons and missed some questions.
Is there an easy way for me to access a French keyboard for these exercises?
I had written out the answers the first time I listened to the exercise and did a lot better on the handwritten exercises
I also did not complete all the exercises with each section and would like to go back to these
Mettez au negative: Issac prend des croissants avec du beurre.
So is the answer, Issac ne prend pas de croissants avec de beurre ?
The vernacular usage for "vers" with time appears to drop the determinate. This doesn't appear to be true for the other usages of "vers".
In the lesson about dimensions, you say "Note that in this case the adjectives haut/long/large/profond agree in gender and number with the subject they refer to."
But you only give a gender agreement example for "profond". Do "haut" or "long " or "large" change spelling with gender?
why do we use "lui" here in the sentence?
Advised by Cecile: "But the construction you suggest ending with a pronoun might be used by a very young French child but isn't correct French."
I have never seen it so pointedly stated anywhere. Seems to me once you 'learn' that faux pas you are halfway through the struggles of using pronouns....where to put them.

Do you think, modified a little, it is advisable to adopt as rote? Would it hold up universally enough.
Do not put your object pronouns at the end of a sentence (after the verb) UNLESS it is the STRESS VERSION OF THE PRONOUN.
Hi, in the mini-quiz, it gives une histoire très interessante as correct. However, I understood that if the adjective is modified by an adverb of only one syllable, it comes before the verb. As in the given example un très joli manteau. So by that logic, it should be une très interessante histoire?
Hi can you please explain the usage difference between the two? A challenge in sports vs intellectual. Someone likes a challenge …. To challenger yourself not necessarily physically. Are these verbs interchangeable as synonyms? Is one more common than the other?
